True Freedom---from the bible
|
You, brothers and sisters were called to enjoy freedom; i am not speaking of that freedom which gives free rein to the desires of the flesh, but of that which makes you slaves of one another through love. For the whole Law is summed up in this sentence: You shall love your neighbor(people live around you) as yourself. But if you bite and tear each other to pieces, be careful lest you all perish.
Therefore i say to you: walk according to the spirit and do not give way to the desires of flesh. For the desires of the flesh war against the spirit, and the desires of the spirit are opposed to the flesh. Both are in conflict with each other, so that you cannot do everything you would like. But when you are led by the spirit you are not under the Law.
You know what comes from the flesh: fornication, impurity and shamelessness, idol worship and sorcery, hatred, jealousy and violence, anger, ambition, division, faction and envy, drunkenness, orgies and the like. I again say to you what i have already said: those who do these things shall not inherit the kindom of God.
But the fruit of the spirit is charity, joy and peace, patience, understanding of others, kindness and fidelity, gentleness and self-control. For such things there is no Law or punishment. Thoes who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its vices and desires.
If we live by the spirit, let us live in a spiritual way. Let us not be conceited, let there be no rivalry or envy of one another.

Very good question! From my point of view, when you are led by the spirit instead of the desires of the flesh, you will have a very good morality, and what you have done is not against the law and regulation, and won't be detested and punished.
