Oh, my god 6: 12 "For me, everything is possible, but it is not all beneficial. I can do anything, but I will never be ruled by it. 」

[Original meaning] "profit" is beneficial, useful and helpful; Manipulate, control and exercise power in the world.

[Text Note] "I can do anything." At that time, some believers misunderstood "Christian freedom" and thought that Christians were not bound and restricted, so "I can do anything" almost became a slogan.

"But not everything is beneficial", Paul put forward the first principle of applying Christian freedom here, that is, nothing is useless and impossible; Freedom does not mean indulgence. It must be "beneficial" to be feasible.

"But in any case, I will not be ruled by it." This is the second principle of Christian freedom: anything that will become your master and rule you in turn is not feasible. In other words, when using freedom, we should also pay attention to keeping it and not losing it.

This section is an important principle for Christians to be human. After our grace, all human life needs spiritual interests first; Second, don't become a hobby and you can't stop. Therefore, anyone who can't cultivate our spiritual life, develop hobbies and bind us, don't do it.

(2) The life of Christians as human beings does not lie in external actions; Nothing is impossible-"I can do anything", and there is nothing I can't do-"I will never be ruled by it". Whether to do it or not depends on whether there is a Christian component and whether there is a Christian benefit, that is, the real "benefit."

(3) In church life, Christians have no external rules, but every believer has a living Christ in his heart, who is the law and living guide of our life. We can do anything that has spiritual interests and is not dominated by things; We can't do anything that is unprofitable and will be governed.

(4) If freedom is wrong, it may become indulgence, and indulgence will become a bad habit; Bad habits will become the dominant force. Once people are dominated by bad habits, the subject of behavior is not self, but bad habits.
