For he who sows to his own flesh
( lower nature, sensuality) will
from the flesh reap decay and
destruction, but he who sows
to the Spirit will from the Spirit
reap eternal life.
And let us not lose heart and
grow weary in acting nobly,
doing right, for in due time
and the appointed season
we shall reap, if we do not
loosen our resolve.
So then, as occasion and
opportunity open up to us,
let us do good to all people
( not only being useful to them,
but also doing what is for their
spiritual good and advantage).
Be mindful to be a blessing,
especially to those of the household
of faith ( those who belong to God’s
family with you, the believers).
(Galatians 6.8-10).
CALLED TO FREEDOM
For you, brothers and sisters
were called to freedom, only
do not let your freedom be
an incentive to your flesh and
an opportunity or excuse for
selfishness but through love
you should serve one another.
For the whole Law – about human
relationships- is fulfilled in one word,
even in this: ” You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.”
( Galatians 5.13 and 14).
THOUGHTS FOR MEDITATION
Please meditate on these points:
1) Ways to serve one another
2) Direct service to people
3) Freedom to care and love
4) Freedom in Christ to avoid
selfishness and sin
5) Freedom in Christ to be dead
to sin and alive to righteousness.
