"You're
living in the freedom of God. So, since we're out from under the old tyranny,
does that mean we can live any old way we want? Since we're free in the freedom
of God, can we do anything that comes to mind? Hardly. You know well enough
from your own experience that there are some acts of so-called freedom that
destroy freedom. Offer yourselves to sin, for instance, and it's your last free
act. But offer yourselves to the ways of God and the freedom never quits. All
your lives you've let sin tell you what to do. But thank God you've started
listening to a new master, one whose commands set you free to live openly in
His freedom." (from Romans 6, The Message)
There
are two freedoms -- the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the
true, where he is free to do what he ought.
--
