When a Christian genuinely loves others, he or she fulfills all the moral requirements of the former Mosaic law concerning them (Matthew 22:36-40; Romans 13:8-10). This is the ruling principle of Christian freedom.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Galatians 5:14.
Christian freedom isn’t for selfish fulfillment, but for serving others.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Galatians 5:13.
The freedom Christians have is not a base from which they can sin freely and without consequence. Christian freedom is not for selfish fulfillment, but for serving others.
This does not mean God has abrogated His moral law (Romans 3:21). We are indeed under grace (Romans 6:14), but the Lord also guides and teaches us in the behavior He expects, by giving us His words and Spirit as that guide.

If all that we can do is remember the sacrifice of others, and be grateful, we should. Spilled blood is much too great a sacrifice to be indifferent about. This is no mediocre sacrifice-really, there is no greater sacrifice.
There is only one way to be pardoned from the dues owed from sinning, be made acceptable to God, and finally reconciled to the One who created you-to be set free-it is only through Jesus.
John 14:6
