"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". Galatians 5:1
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, we know that we do not live lives that are in every aspect morally right or even ethicaly pure. We must confess that we still somehow try to use your law to gain your favour, knowing that it's a hopeless execise - after all, you see right into our self-centered motives. Thank you for setting us free from this bondage and giving us Christ us free. Amen
A devout life does bring wealth, but it's the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. (The Message, 1 Tim 6:6)

• Christains have been set free from the law as a system of salvation and have access and peace with God through faith in Jesus.
• Every form of religion has some sort of law to keep its followers 'righteous' or in the right relationship with their ultimate reality.
• This is a hopeless form of religion: no human performance is ever going to be good enough for God - he looks at the heart first and there we either have the wrong desires or not enough of the good ones.
• It is from this hopeless situation that Christ has set us free.
