Once we come to this new relationship with God by grace through faith, it sets us free. It sets us free from trying to please God by our works and through legalistic rules. It sets us free from our flesh and our selfishness. It sets us free to be servants. It sets us free to be reconcilers of others. It sets us free to be who God created us to be so that we might bear spiritual fruit.
