Christian Liberty
(Galatians 5)
Of this I have total assurance:
That from sin I have been set free,
And as a result, I am called by Christ
To stand fast in the liberty
By which He has made me free.
(v. 1)
This liberty is not to be used
For leisurely habits of sin;
This liberty is a vocation
That comes from the Spirit within,
To service and discipline.
(v. 13)
"Stand fast" is a call to action
To leave lusts of the flesh unfulfilled
And to serve one another in love
As the Spirit of God has willed
For in love all the law is fulfilled.
(v. 14)
When I do what the Spirit wills me
And I go where the Spirit leads,
I am not subject to the works of the law
But I do what my Father pleads,
And my faith is made perfect with deeds.
(v. 18, James 2:22)
