• trials,
• the everyday struggles of life, or
• the consequences of sin from your past;

but you are free from

• self and the power of sin
• conforming to patterns of this world/man, and
• consequences of sin in your future since you are evaluating your actions in light of the fruit they will produce.

Strong-willed people create their own reality—either an idealism image or a hyper-spiritual façade—and condemn people who don’t live within that contrived reality. They experience little, if any, guilt about their self-absorption and lack of love and grace towards others. They live free from God because their outward façade, ideal image, and/or lifestyle is sufficient.

Weak-willed people create their own reality through self-condemnation. They experience self-imposed guilt, which binds them.

They too are free from God.

Sin is no longer master over you (Romans 6:14). You became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed; and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness (Romans 6:17-23). You believe in Him, continue to abide, know the truth, and the truth has set you free (John 8:31-32).

You were called to freedom and will not use your freedom in Christ as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love you will serve one another (Galatians 5:13) because you are a bondslave of God (1 Peter 2:16).
