You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Christians are not to be subject to the law but led by God's Spirit. When the life-giving Spirit of God is in charge, human lives yield a rich harvest of love, joy, peace... - qualities as unlike what 'natural' human nature produces as can be.
Why?
We are free from the sins and laws, but we can't use our freedom to indulge the flesh. but serve one another humbly in love.
We are led by the Spirit, so we do not belong to this world, and we belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
How?
May my mind, my heart, and my desire belong to Jesus Christ.
