* The spirit of bondage is a slave attitude to the law * Occurs in the saved and unsaved * Believer can live Christian life rightly or wrongly: * Living by fulfilling law (wrong) * Living to honor Christ (right) * Strive for holiness for God's glory, not to follow rules * We should not elevate personal standards over biblical principles, doctrine and God's glory * Motive for furthering standards should be biblical, not personal self-righteousness * Attitude should be proper balance between biblical truth and Christian living (Colossians 2:16-23) * Naturally, we "like" rules - makes order relevant and easy. But it robs God of glory; puts the focus on our ability, and not on God's grace. * We are to walk worthy not to gain God or self righteousness, but because God has enabled it. We are to fear God not as a taskmaster, but in reverence.
