GOD AND PEOPLE
… you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. 14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself. » (Galatians 5:13-14 NLT).
It keeps catching my attention how frequently I see in the Bible that everything is related to two eternal things.
The commandments, the instructions, and the life principles that I encounter while reading the Bible are aimed to lead me to have a better relationship with God and with people.
When we give our life to Christ we are freed from many things like guilt, wounds, grudges, resentments, our soul is healed, and we are free from all sickness.
The freedom we have been given is not, so we can give free rein to our sinful passions, but rather so that we can have a passion for God and a compassion for what is most important to God: People.
Freedom will always lead us to the great commandment and the great commission.

Think about it:
How are you using your freedom?
How is your relationship with God and people?
What part are you playing to fulfill the commandment of God?
