Freedom
is not license
to do what
I please
BUT
power to
do
what I ought.
This is so obvious that I'm pretty sure he was not the first one to say it, but he must have been the first person I ever heard say it. Not only is this true of Christian who have been freed from the power of sins, but it is true of every person on earth who lives in a "free country." Because we are free, we have power to do what is right and good. But we don't always use that power or, if we do, not very well. It is a challenge to me to use this gift of freedom to truly do what I ought.
