Do Not Let Yourselves Be Burdened Again by a Yoke of Slavery
(Gal. 4:31-5:1)

It seems that many people live freely but they are chained by other things. People become live as slaves of anger, hatred and power. However, the Bible says that Jesus gave the freedom to us.

1. The children of the slave
The bible says that we are the children of freedom, not the children of slaves. Abraham had two sons and the one was Ishmael born through the female servant, Hagal and the other was Isaac who was born through Sarah. Isaac was inherited the blessing of Abraham and he spiritually represents us who are saved by Jesus. We cannot get off the identity as salves for ourselves. Only Jesus can make us free from sins. By Believing in Jesus, we can be forgiven.

2. The children who have freedom
Our identity is totally changed. We are not the slaves of the sins and we are blessed children of God and become free in Jesus. Unfortunately, however, there are many people who are the slave of sins, being burdened of carrying the yoke of slaves. Once we believe in Jesus, Jesus sets us free. Live as free men. Do not be chained by the sins, diseases, poverty, wounds and hatred. Be released from all the chains and live as free man according to what Jesus asks us to do. The Holy Spirit will help you.

3. The fruit of the Holy Spirit
People enjoying freedom in Jesus will love one another. (Gal. 5:13-15) The freedom Jesus gave to us does not mean that we can live according to our wills. Our inborn will lead us to the sinful nature thereby living us with sins. The people living with the freedom of Jesus will live by loving God and neighbors with the love the Holy Spirit pours out thereby bearing meaningful fruits. When we live by the sinful nature, we tend to bear the fruits of sins while we bear plentiful fruits through the Holy Spirit. Let us be filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit only. Therefore, let us live to be united in the Holy Spirit and bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
