1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?
8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.
9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”
10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
11 Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

1. We are free from sin’s power
1. We are free from sin’s power
1. We are free from sin’s power
1. We are free from sin’s power
If the Son set you free, you are really free
You have to remain free
Continue to do things that keep you free
Do not allow yourselves to be yoked by sin
Do not go back to slavery
2. Our freedom is by faith and not through works
2. Our freedom is by faith and not through works
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
This is our Christian Hope
His yoke is easy
If you try to gain salvation by works then you have left the Grace of God
No need to burden ourselves with works of the flesh
Outer works do not amount to anything (you can’t manipulate your way in)
3. Stay in the race
3. Stay in the race
The only way to leave the race is for you to quit
Outside influence will keep you from obeying the truth
Pay attention to the little things in life
God is not about confusing you
God sets you free
Its not how you look, it is what you believe
4. Stay away from the yeast of life
4. Stay away from the yeast of life
Yeast is a substance that causes dough to rise
Too much yeast can cause infection and health problems
Pride can be seen as a sort of yeast—it puffs up
Knowledge without humility puffs up—pride
Pride comes before destruction
Yeast comes from too much sweat stuff in us
5. Our freedom is maintained through the Spirit of God
5. Our freedom is maintained through the Spirit of God
The Holy Spirit will help you walk in love
We must love our neighbors
Jesus said that all of the law was summed up in two
Love the Lord with everything that you are
Love your neighbor as yourself
Sometimes loving others is a challenge, but the Holy Spirit will help you
The love that comes from God is unconditional
The love of the flesh has conditions
Use your freedom to make the right choice—make the God choice
