Here’s a couple of good questions for Christians to ask themselves: Am I using or abusing my freedom in Christ? Am I flaunting my freedom or using it to serve others… This came to mind as I read what Apostle Paul had to say about his “freedom in Christ” this morning…
“THOUGH I AM FREE AND BELONG TO NO ONE, I HAVE MADE MYSELF A SLAVE TO EVERYONE, TO WIN AS MANY AS POSSIBLE. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (THOUGH I AM NOT FREE FROM GOD’S LAW BUT AM UNDER CHRIST’S LAW), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I DO ALL THIS FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL, that I may share in its blessings.” (1 Corinthians 9:19–23 NIV)
I want to use the freedom I have in Christ to serve others and effectively communicate the gospel, don’t you?
