It's a wonderful thing to have freedom, and sad to give it up. In the spiritual realm there are always people wanting to bring us into bondage, the same as in the secular world.

The opposite of legalism is not licence, it is genuine liberty. This liberty is the Spirit-given desire and ability to do what we should do before God.

This is what fulfils the law: a life of love, made possible within the Christian community by the Spirit. In it the law finds fulfilment.

The law does not curb the flesh, it brings it out. The solution to the flesh is the Spirit.

The reception of the Spirit is at conversion. The presence of the Spirit is no guarantee that we are going to guarantee victory. It's not his presence that gives us victory, but when he is president. That is when we enjoy this victory.
