Galatians 5:1:
So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
The Bible is communication
"Do you take the Bible literally?"
The question to ask:
"What does the author mean?"
Matthew 6:9:
Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Start with God!

May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
It's about God!
Matthew 6:11:
Give us today the food we need,
Ask! (for yourself, but not just yourself)
Matthew 6:12:
and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
Forgiveness! (again, yourself and others)
Matthew 6:13:
And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
"May I live in your strength and obedience"
