It is a very sweet grace not to live under the law, but we want to extend that sweetness to one another through service, kindness, and care (Romans 13:10). Just because we are free to do something doesn&#8217;t mean that doing it is beneficial to our brothers and sisters in Christ or to the people we are trying to influence toward Jesus. Freedom gives us the opportunity to do things out of love, not just because we are ordered to do them. Love can, can and should be greater than the law.<\/div>\n<p>We have included Phil <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.togather.church\">to collect<\/a> Video from four years ago as an added blessing in our poem today:<\/p>\n<div>O great God of salvation, thank you for delivering Israel from the clutches of Pharaoh, David from the sword of Goliath, and Daniel from the mouth of lions. But oh great Redeemer, thank you most for the victory of Jesus over the law of sin, hell and Calvary. Thank you for His victory over death at the empty tomb. I look forward to seeing you face to face and thanking you for my freedom, won by Jesus and made perfect in me through the transformation of the Holy Spirit working within me (2 Corinthians 3:17-18). My love for others and for you can be a greater blessing to me than any law. Until Jesus returns, please Father, guide me as I use this gift of freedom to serve Your children and live for You. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our freedom as followers of Jesus, the freedom to live by the power of the Spirit, and not by the law (Romans 8:1-4; Galatians 5:1), is a wonderful gift, especially when it is handled responsibly and with grace (Romans 14:13; 1 Peter 2:16).
