Liberty in Christ: In the Bible

 The apostle Paul says multiple times in the bible that as a Christian he can do whatever he pleases, that he has liberty in Christ and is not bound by the law.  Many people feel that way today, they think that they can do whatever they please as a Christian, they believe that they can lie, cheat, and steal without suffering the consequences of sin and that just isn't the case.  Paul is right that we have freedoms as Christians; however, he further explains his position in 1 Corinthians 10:23

1 Corinthians 10:23 states that all things are lawful for a Christian, however all things do not edify you as a Christian.  This means that all things do not build up a strong foundation in the faith, they do not help you prosper as a Christian, and if doing these things do not help you, then why are you doing them?  We are on a treacherous journey through life as Christians, and we need to bring along things/items that help us down this troublesome path; on judgement day we need to be found to have a strong foundation in Christ, so don't preoccupy yourself with things that don't help build up your foundation in Christ...

We focus a ton of energy today, questioning if the church should allow homosexuality or if it should allow abortion.  Just stop, we need to focus on good Christian values, the ones we've always had(follow the law), and do things that profit us as believers.
