The fact that we are justified by grace through faith means we have spiritual freedom. We are not subject to the rules and rituals of the Old Testament Law. According to Galatians 5:1, new believers must stand firm in their freedom and not be “entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” However, Christian freedom is not an excuse to follow our sin nature. Rather, our freedom is an opportunity to do good and love one another. In Galatians 5:13 and 14 Paul says, “But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
