“Freedom is the ability to do what you ought to do, not just what you want to do.”

Yet, the world today has so many definitions of freedom. The world says freedom is being able to do what you want to do no matter how unethical, immoral or damaging it is to others. Others would add in that context “as long as you want it and as long as it makes you happy”. But the truth is that the bible tells us that anyone who sins is a slave to sin. Our ways and our views of freedom is damaged by the sin we have. We are all slaves to sin. That’s why Jesus came, died on the cross and ressurected. That for those who repent and believe by His power, can live free from the bondage of sin itself. Only in Jesus can we find true freedom. A freedom that calls us to repent, believe, deny ourselves and live for Him alone.
