Freedom From & Freedom To | Galatians 5:1-6
Galatians 5:1-6 (HCSB)
Christ has liberated us into freedom. Therefore stand firm and don't submit again to a yoke of slavery. Take note! I, Paul, tell you that if you get circumcised, Christ will not benefit you at all. Again I testify to every man who gets circumcised that he is obligated to keep the entire law. You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace! For by the Spirit we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness from faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.

O Death, where is your sting? 56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Withholding the Gospel While Eating Unclean Animals | Acts 11:1-18
We should desire God's salvation through Jesus Christ instead of God's wrath for the wicked. We should rejoice when the unrighteous accept Christ, even when it's someone close who has wronged you.
The Bible teaches that all food is clean. It's not what we touch or eat that makes us unclean, but what is in our hearts.
When you hear or read that the Bible teaches something, or there is something debated about what the Bible teaches, pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit; read the whole section or story of the teaching verse; and if there some debate, get verses from both sides of the argument and test them against the full context in the Bible.

James 1:13-16 (HCSB)
13 No one undergoing a trial should say, "I am being tempted by God." For God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself doesn't tempt anyone. 14 But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires. 15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death. 16 Don't be deceived, my dearly loved brothers.

1 Before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom, I solemnly charge you: 2 proclaim the message; persist in it whether convenient or not; rebuke, correct, and encourage with great patience and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will accumulate teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new. 4 They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But as for you, keep a clear head about everything, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
