Galatians 5:13

FAITH STORY:
Galations 5:1-26

This causes tension because more freedom may mean a loose morality. However, Christians can live in this tension because of an inner change that occurs in their lives. Paul is not saying that it’s okay to get drunk and live in selfish ambition; he is saying that freedom was given so that humanity does not have to worry about doing enough to please God.
