The document discusses loving one another as commanded by Jesus. It says to remain in God's love by obeying his commands, and that true love comes from God. Christians are called to freedom through faith in Christ, not religious bondage or trying to earn favor through works. True freedom means serving others in love.

4. 1 John 4:7-11 (NLT) 7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God—for God is love. 9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.

5. 1 John 4:7-11 (NLT) 10 This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.

10. Galatians 5:1-12 (NLT) 3 I'll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey all of the regulations in the whole law of Moses.

11. Galatians 5:1-12 (NLT) 4 For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace.

12. Galatians 5:1-12 (NLT) 5 But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive everything promised to us who are right with God through faith.

14. Galatians 5:1-12 (NLT) 7 You were getting along so well. Who has interfered with you to hold you back from following the truth? 8 It certainly isn't God, for he is the one who called you to freedom.

15. Galatians 5:1-12 (NLT) 9 But it takes only one wrong person among you to infect all the others—a little yeast spreads quickly through the whole batch of dough!

16. Galatians 5:1-12 (NLT) 10 I am trusting the Lord to bring you back to believing as I do about these things. God will judge that person, whoever it is, who has been troubling and confusing you.

17. Galatians 5:1-12 (NLT) 11 Dear brothers and sisters, if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised—as some say I do—why would the Jews persecute me? The fact that I am still being persecuted proves that I am still preaching salvation through the cross of Christ alone.

18. Galatians 5:1-12 (NLT) 12 I only wish that those troublemakers who want to mutilate you by circumcision would mutilate themselves.

22. Galatians 5:15 (NLT) 15 But if instead of showing love among yourselves you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another.

23. The Question! Are you living in Freedom? The freedom that allows you to serve others in love. or Are you living in the bondage of religion, consumed with yourself and what others think of you?
