All Things Are Lawful
Johnathan Armstrong - December 27, 2025
Paul’s statement “all things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful” is frequently misused to claim that God’s law has been abolished, yet the context shows he is addressing Christian liberty in matters of conscience, not moral lawlessness. The Greek word for “all” is almost always limited by context, and Scripture repeatedly warns that sin separates us from God and is never helpful to our relationship with Him. True freedom is found in submitting to God’s commandments rather than twisting isolated phrases to justify living as we please.
