You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial. Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.
-1 Corinthians 10:23-24
Thank You Lord that I am free to do anything. "The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it." (Psalm 24:1)
Thank You Abba for new wine and new wineskins. But because the old covenant law has been fulfilled does that mean I am allowed to do anything?
I believe the answer is both yes and no.
Yes I am allowed to do anything, but not everything is good.
Yes I am allowed to do anything, but not everything is beneficial.
Jesus You have bought and paid for me at a high price. Thus I am Yours. I want to live for You and You alone.
I no longer live my life for my own good but rather for the good of others.
So the new question isn't "am I allowed to do this?" but "Does this glorify God?"
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
-Philippians 2:3
The new question is, "am I doing this out of selfish ambition?"
The new covenant is the law of love. "Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged." (1 Corinthians 13)
Love does not demand its own way. Love is selfless. Love puts others before itself.
Yes I can do whatever I want to do everything is permissible. I ask that You Jesus would make my wants and desires loving You with everything I've got, and loving my brothers and sisters as myself.
