By our union we Christ we find ourselves in a union with others who have exercised saving faith in Christ. This calls for instruction on how to view and interact with them.

Jesus intends that we use liberty, freedom as a means to serve others. Too often our liberty is viewed as an end in itself but no man is an island, as the saying goes. We are to be thinking of others, not only ourselves. When we've done well, our inward attitude is to say of ourselves, 'we are unprofitable servants, we've only done what was commanded'. Let this be a guard against arrogance and conceit; a bulwark to protect against that wicked separator of men, pride. It is clear that serving others may yield little reward from them, that is not the aim. We ought to please our Master. He is the Chief Magistrate. In the end, our King, while absent, has assured us of His return and of the consequences of such. He does not show favoritism to anyone.
