Stand fast in true Spiritual Liberty: So far in these two chapters we have seen how important it is to stand fast in the true spiritual liberty one has as justified by faith

No excuses for allowing the flesh to lead to sin
Contrast between living in the flesh and living in the Spirit
Humility is the right attitude toward oneself, while meekness is the kind of relationship one has with others when he is humble.
Sorrows, disappointments, physical problems, material needs, emotional immaturity, difficult decisions—a list of such “burdens” could go on and on.
The Christian who is spiritually-minded gladly serves his fellow-believers by getting under these burdens with them and thus making the weight easier to bear.
Surely this is what is intended both here and in many similar passages (1 Corinthians 10:24; Philippians 2:4; Romans 12:10, etc.).
Humility is the right attitude toward oneself, while meekness is the kind of relationship one has with others when he is humble.

Philippians
Romans
Too often, our ministry becomes professional, or self-seeking, or legalistic.
God will examine our work one day (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:9, 10); how much better that final exam will be if we first constantly examine it ourselves and make sure it “tests out” as it should.
The first five verses have presented general principles (with one important application) about the Christian attitude toward oneself, his work, and others.
The next five verses deal specifically with matters of a Christian’s service to others, particularly his fellow-believers.
This is Christian love in action.
