True Freedom?

Check out this passage from Romans 6 in The Message that answers the question - "What is true freedom? "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!" True freedom is not doing anything you want to do, but doing everything you should do. Before being set free by Jesus Christ, we were slaves to sin and did whatever it dictated to us. If we continue to live the old way we will be right back in the bondage we were in before. Now we can choose to live by God's way that keeps you enjoying the freedom to which we have been called. True freedom!
