freedom and liberty...

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

We must remember that when Jesus died on the cross for all our sins... we are forgiven and do not have to do anything to pay for our sins... the only thing we must do is to believe in Jesus... standing fast in the the liberty means to stay in faith and not to enter our works of the flesh... we need to accept what Jesus has done and His finish work as Pst Ulf mentioned and rest in that truth... as we trust in that truth we are able to flow with the Holy Spirt in peace and not anxiety.... where the Spirit of God is there is freedom... works of the flesh includes activities in the name of God that Holy Spirit doesnt sanction.... activities that bring yoke of bondage... we have to stand fast in the freedom that Christ died to give us...

Galatians 5:13
For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Acts 15:28
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things.
