Choosing what to eat and not eat is entirely a matter of Christian freedom. Satisfaction is not what makes me satisfied but was required to be pleasing before the LORD. Satisfaction was made in full for your sins by Christ’s cross and empty tomb (Romans 3:21-26). Christians do not do away with good traditions or dissuade people from bodily discipline for the good, yet these disciplines are done with the assurance of Christ’s forgiveness and salvation. So go ahead, open up your grill and lean on Christ. “Not what I feel or do, Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears Can bear my awful load.” LSB #567 st. 2.
