Chapter 5 Freedom in Christ 1It 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.7You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?8That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.9“A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”10I 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.11Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.12As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves! 13You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.14The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”15If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

This verse is key to understand Paul's theology.

Paul is reminding The Church that they are free. However he also includes a subtle point that, while people may not know it, they were in bondage. You can not appreciate that you are free, if you do not know you were in slavery.

When we think of being slaves to sin, we often think of really "big" sins or our life before salvation. We often spend our time under the burden of other sins, though, even after Christ has given us our freedom. We are slaves to shame, anger, hurt, fear, etc. Christ has paid for all of that, and we must consciously choose our freedom.

Christ has set us free so we need to make sure w live in that freedom. We can stay in bondage if we don't choose to step out and take hold of what God has for us. That would be like being given a present but never opening it or playing with it.

To abandoned one's faith in the Cross and go into Law (of any kind) guarantees bondage once again to the sin nature.
