Galatians 5:13 NASB
For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Who was called to freedom?
What are they not to do with this freedom?
What are they to do with this freedom?
Through what are they to serve one another?
Let's look at the cross-references for this verse. The first is Galatians 5:1.
Who made our freedom possible?
The next is 1 Corinthians 8:9.
What do we need to beware of in enjoying our liberty?
Read 1 Peter 2:16.
What does Peter tell believers to act like?
Next to "free" in the beginning of that verse is a little "a." In the footnote section for that verse, we're instructed to see John 8:32. Read John 8:32-33.
What did Jesus say makes people free?
How do you know the truth?
How can you truly be Christ's disciples?
In what does Jesus say we need to abide?
Go back to 1 Peter 2:16.
What does he instruct us not to use our freedom as?
What are we to use it as?
What do you think he means by that?
Reread Galatians 5:13. Today think about the freedom that you have in Christ. Through love, you are free to serve others and they to serve you. How might you give and receive that loving service today?
