The Limit of Autonomy. The Gift of Freedom
Freedom is not the ability to do anything you want – it is the ability to accept your limits, to say no to that which robs you of what you most deeply desire. Almost everyone agrees (Christians and non-Christians) freedom is the fulfillment that comes from doing what you most deeply desire. The Bible says that only happens when you are willing to be completely dependent on God. “I will obey You and Your Word and not all of my contradictory, conflicting impulses. I will do what You say, and I know, then, I’ll find myself because I was built to obey You.” The essence of Freedom is not dos and don’ts but personal allegiance to a relationship with Jesus.
“Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.”
-Psalm 1:1-2 (NLT)-
