In Galatians Paul argues there are three ways people try to live their lives but only one of them results in freedom. The Law, or religion only restrains behaviour but leaves our hearts unchanged. Lawlessness justifies any behaviour, but leaves us captive to ourselves and others. But God sent the Spirit to set us free both from the Law of religion, and from the captivity of our lawlessness – set free to bear the fruit of love in our lives.
