True Christian freedom isn't the liberty to do whatever we want; it’s the freedom from the heavy, exhausting weight of legalism. When we are directed by the Spirit, we are no longer "under the law." This means our obedience flows from a relationship, not a list of rules. The law can point out what is wrong, but only the Spirit can empower us to do what is right.
As you head into the weekend, reflect on your motivations. Are you trying to "earn" God's favor through perfect behavior, or are you responding to His love? The Spirit-led life is one of grace-based transformation. You are free to obey because you are loved, not so that you might be loved.
