“May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.” Peter Marshall, Minister
The liberty and freedom found in obedience is a misnomer to many people and is a concept foreign even unto many who claim the name of Jesus. In Christ I am free, but it is not the freedom to do as I please, it is the freedom and opportunity to do what pleases him. A righteous life, a life of obedience unto the Lord is a life of freedom, and this is well known to all who understand the liberty and freedom that is found in obedience. Obedience unto the Lord does not make men captive, it sets men free. We were created unto good works, and in good works that are pleasing unto the Lord we find the true meaning of freedom.
