Free in Truth

---

Galatians 5:6
6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

---

The context of this is freedom. Freedom from the yoke of slavery which no longer has power over us who are believers. We are the children of faith, Abraham's true children. We were born under the Law and it's masters, but we are set free of their bondage by our faith in Christ.

The Galatians were apparently Jews more than Gentiles. The context of Galatians 4 and 5 is a explanation of what these Jews were no longer bound by, yet, lingered in. The Law that binds and requires of them to follow celebrations, traditions, and calender events. All of which no longer hold meaning to God. The Son of God was sent among us, and he delivered to us true purpose and an explanation of the Father's Truth amd His Spirit. So the unseen qualities of God are honored through 'faith expressing itself through love.'

In a day and age where we see that love is in the families and houses of many religions, we still remain separate. What separates us is the Truth. Christ Jesus is the Truth. The belief that the Spirit of Truth works through us putting aside ourselves. We become the body of this Truth. We show that it is holiness working through us instead of what others believe, which is that holiness is because of them. The difference is we show this righteousness to be of the Father alone, which glorifies Him by His Truth.

So we remain in this Truth, and the Spirit of Truth does works in our acts based in Love. The Spirit of Truth is our witness to these humbling acts. These acts are humbling because we are serving the will of God instead of acting on our own reactions to what is placed in front of us. This is faithfulness. The Holy Spirit places on our hearts and minds, what honors the Father alone.

Remaining in the Truth that is Christ Jesus, requires sincerity, so what acts through us is witnessed by others as the power of God acting through us. This is what others recognize as holiness, something greater than what is human.

Yes, even pagans love their family. Yes, organized man made religions unify under their banner of love. And yes, many claim love in the name of Christ Jesus. But, the celebrate him because it honors them, and solidifies their enslavement of the free. They all then will be judged by the Law, where those who carry the Truth are free from it's bondage.

Every knee shall bow, and very tongue shall confess that Christ Jesus is Lord. As only those who of his body, that do the will of the Father, glorify the Father's Truth. The rest will recognize that the kingdom upon the living is not of the body or the soul or the mind. The kingdom is what supplies holiness alone. And the kingdom will be reclaimed as will the Spirit of Truth, when Christ returns.

Pray thanks to the Father when you recognize holiness come through you while on your path of transgression. As you are setting yourself aside for the one you serve, you do not have expectations of gain, you serve out of love. This existence is a trial, not meant to honor the individual or the group, but to honor the Father by recognizing Him as righteous alone.
