7. “not all things are profitable” 1 Cor 6:12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Cor 10:23 All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify.

8. Grace, (pg. 347) Lewis Sperry Chafer “Because of the Christian's position and circumstances in the world, the law of personal liberty in Christ is subject to the law of expediency. That which is expedient is to be chosen for two reasons which are stated in the Scriptures: "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any"; "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not" (I Corinthians 6:12; 10:23). Thus it is seen that the law of expediency contemplates the danger to the believer's own life in the matter of personal habits or injury, and the responsibility to others in the matter of edification.”

9. Christian Liberty Christian liberty is freedom from bondage to sin and a law- works-based righteousness, to live in a manner pleasing to God according to a grace-faith-based righteousness.

10. Grace, (pg. 344) Lewis Sperry Chafer “The child of God is free. He has been delivered from every aspect of the law - as a rule of life, as an obligation to make himself acceptable to God, and as a dependence on the impotent flesh. Likewise, he has been delivered from ideals and conventionalities of the world. He is as free in himself as though he had already passed on into heaven. [It is as though we have been released to the freedom we will enjoy in heaven, as long as we align with the grace provision of God to be and walk accordingly. Adherence to law in any form contributes nothing to this at all.]”

11. Liberty and Spirituality Romans 6:7 - For he who has died has been freed from sin. Romans 6:18 - And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. Romans 6:22 - But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life Romans 7:24 - O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Romans 8:3 - For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, Romans 14:17 - for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17 - Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

12. Grace, (pg. 346-347) Lewis Sperry Chafer “When God is molding the desires of the heart, there is liberty. When He is empowering the life, there is victory. Thus it may be seen that grace is not a way of escaping obedience to God; it is the only possible way in which true obedience can be secured. The Spirit-filled believer is never abandoned to self-will; he is "inlawed to Christ." God in grace does not lower standards; He proposes and gloriously realizes the very character and conduct of Heaven.”
