Come, you who are blessed by my Father
"Then the King will say to those on his right,
'Come, you who are blessed by my Father;
take your inheritance, the kingdom
prepared for you since the creation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you invited me in,
I needed clothes and you clothed me,
I was sick and you looked after me,
I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
'I tell you the truth, whatever you did
for one of the least of these brothers
of mine, you did for me.'
Matthew 25:34-36; 40 NIV

Walk in the Spirit
My friends, you were chosen to be free. So don't use your freedom as an excuse to do anything you want. Use it as an opportunity to serve each other with love. All that the Law says can be summed up in the command to love others as much as you love yourself. But if you keep attacking each other like wild animals, you had better watch out or you will destroy yourselves.
God's Spirit and Our Own Desires
If you are guided by the Spirit, you won't obey your selfish desires. The Spirit and your desires are enemies of each other. They are always fighting each other and keeping you from doing what you feel you should. But if you obey the Spirit, the Law of Moses has no control over you.
Galatians 5:13-18 CEV
