Scripture states, “So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.” (Galatians 5:1 NLT) In this Seven Minute Seminary, Danielle Strickland points us to the end goal of the Christian life, which isn’t merely the forgiveness of sins, but core transformation by the power of the Holy Spirit.
