In the New Testament, Jesus himself declared that it is not what goes into a person's mouth that defiles them, but what comes out of their heart. Does this mean that the Old Testament rules about clean and unclean foods no longer apply to Christians? Are believers in Christ free to enjoy all types of food without fear of breaking any religious laws? Yes, and no. Paul further explains that Christians need to be mindful of others. Therefore, if a particular food may lead someone astray, then you need to avoid it when you are around that person. As for specific food laws, focusing on strict dietary restrictions can distract you from more important matters such as showing love and compassion toward others. Instead of obsessing over whether certain foods are considered clean or unclean according to tradition, focus on living a life filled with kindness and generosity. Therefore, embrace your freedom in Christ and remember that true purity comes from having a pure heart full of love for God and others.
