"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."
What does this mean?
After all... aren't you more free without the rules and restrictions of religion?
To answer this you must first understand what God wants for/from us. (not "religion", but God)
Love. Love. Love.
Love for him and love for others.
If love is the root of who you are than God can lovingly work with the rest of you.
Secondly
"...yoke of slavery"
what does that mean?
Everything that is not of God is prone to enslaving of body and soul.
Hate
Pornography
Drugs
Greed
Pride/arrogance
etc
These things imprison your thoughts and actions.
When we are in a relationship with Jesus Christ, than we have accepted forgiveness and are free of all of these things.
We are no longer a slave.
We are free.
Jesus wouldn't have died on the cross for ultimate forgiveness only to wait for the first opportunity to condemn you!!!
He wants to set you free of all that means to enslave you!!
