freedom

in my lifelong struggle to live as Christ, I came across this verse:

"For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love." Galations 5:13

i think we would become more complete Christians if we could only grasp or imagine just what it means to be free in Christ. and to serve... in love...

how often do we selfishly do things for ourselves, for our benefit, at the expense of others? how does competition play into this? do we even know we're doing it?
