Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
In the old covenant, it was clear to people of what they could or could not do. However, these people were bound or imprisoned by the law. There was no room for error. The blessing or the curse was based on them keeping the ENTIRE law.
We are under the new covenant. In the new covenant, we have a better covenant with better promises. Included in that promise, is the guiding of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will guide us in the ways of God without being in bondage. Not only will the Holy Spirit tell us ways to please God but, He will guide us in the “gray areas.” “Gray areas” are areas in life that the Bible does not specifically explain.
For example, the Bible specifically says we are not be intoxicated however, it doesn’t say anything about casually drinking or becoming tipsy. Another example is employment. The Bible does not tell us where to be employed. We should consult and rely on the Holy Spirit to give us direction on our employment. This information is only revealed by the Holy Spirit.
If we can tune our hearing to the inner voice of the Holy Spirit, He will lead and guide us in the ways that please God and better our lives.
