Lawful or Helpful?

1 Corinthians 10:23-26   
23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 24 Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being. 25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; 26 for “the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness.” 

We are set free from earning our way to God by the Law, but not from its principles.  To love God with our everything and to then love each other by His love as a fruit of the Spirit in our hearts, so we seek what is best for others in an eternal perspective.  We then can eat anything, but must be sensitive to the conscience of others.
