The book of Galatians insists that Christians are free in Christ. But what does that freedom look like in your daily life? Paul explains that the life of the Christian is marked by a conflict of desires: old selfish desires combat new selfless desires inspired by the Holy Spirit. When we understand this conflict, we understand ourselves better, and we find hope for growth.
