Summary:
Paul declares that Christ has set believers free for the purpose of living in freedom, and he urges them to stand firm in that freedom rather than submitting again to a yoke of slavery.
Teaching:
He gave us freedom for freedom, but in order to receive salvation or redemption we must believe in Jesus - we must believe in Jesus’ cross. We receive the Spirit of God’s Son and become God’s sons, and to us, who have become sons, He gives freedom, and He gives power and wisdom.
So he is saying not to serve as slaves. Do not even become the state of a slave. Those who have become free are told not to be bound again as slaves.
Live your church life well. The Word we read and hear makes us free. If we do not have freedom, we have nothing. I hope you will discover the freedom Jesus has given you. It is coming to know the freedom given to me.
