truly free?

“This is a paradox, of course,
as Augustine, Luther, Edwards, Pascal
and others have pointed out.
When individuals rebel against God,
they don't achieve freedom.
They fall into bondage,
because rebellion is sin,
and sin is a tyrant.
On the other hand,
when men and women submit to God,
becoming his slaves,
they become truly free.
They achieve the ability
fully to become the special,
unique beings that
God created them to be.”
