Live Free, But Do What is Right to Others

We are encouraged to do things in a just manner before God, and to love kindness and mercy. Humbling ourselves and walking the path of humility towards others. Doing what is right isn’t always easy to do. Why? Because there’s so much evil all around trying to influence us to do wrong. And there is our flesh, those inordinate desires of our bodies which have not been redeemed yet (Romans 7:21-25). Our bodies are still trained under the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). We will receive a glorified body once we get to heaven. These bodies of ours are earth bound and everything concerning creation is in the fallen state due to the sin of mankind. This carries over to us being created from the dust of the earth. But we have been redeemed from our past ways of living. It is up to each person to make a decision to receive this deliverance from habitual wrong doings. We couldn’t do what was right before God, we didn’t have the capacity to be kind and humble towards others based on God’s love. Since we’ve been redeemed from the curse of the law, we are free to live the clean life. The power of sin no longer has control over you once you have been saved, born again. The capability has been restored so we can do what’s right by God, and we can love being kind to others and live humbly.
