Summary

You've already been set free by Christ. When are you going to start experiencing that freedom? What does it look like when a man lives out a truly authentic, loving walk with Jesus Christ? It looks like freedom. The Apostle Paul, a man made new by the gospel of Jesus Christ, presents one of the clearest images of the godly man in action. He's committed to a life of faith, focused on the Spirit instead of the flesh, set free to love others. No longer focused on himself, he demonstrates his faith by serving others. You can be that kind of man by claiming your freedom in Christ. Being God's man meansbeing set free to exemplify Christ's love.
