Go Into All The World | Freedom To Serve

Day 1: Freedom to ServeEngage God Daily · Summer Audio Edition · Week 6, Day 1 · ~6 minScripture: Galatians 5:13–15Episode SummaryWhat makes anyone want the God we follow? This week of the Engage God Daily summer series turns from how the gospel spreads to what makes our witness believable. In the opening episode, Kyle Gilbert unpacks Paul's startling claim that the freedom we have in Christ was never meant for ourselves. Free from the law, believers are set free for something better: to love and serve the people around them. The whole law, Paul says, is fulfilled in a single command—love your neighbor as yourself. Not a new rulebook, just love empowered by the Spirit.Key TakeawaysFreedom in Christ can feel disorienting—like the first morning of vacation with no alarm and no plan.
