Paulus menyatakan bahwa kemerdekaan di dalam Kristus diberikan tidak untuk disalahgunakan untuk memanjakan keinginan daging (sinful nature), namun untuk mengaplikasikan kasih.
“So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature … But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law … But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self- control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Galatia 5: 16, 18, 22-25).
