" I want to do what I like ! "
So what is true freedom ?
Do anyone know how to answer this question ?
The Dilemma
Having Rules is not necessary a bad thing! Yet, freedom is also a virtue. While Rules PROTECT us, Freedom gives us room to EXPRESS ourselves.
>>However, when we set rules selfishly, we gain at the expense of the others. Such rules harm people more than protect them.
>>Similarly, when we want freedom selfishly we get our way without consideration for others & what's right or wrong.
Freedom -->Self-Interest --> Opposition
Fence --> Interest -> Oppression
THE REAL PROBLEM
The problem then, lies neither in Rules nor in Freedom.
>> What is the real problem??
OUR SELFISHNESS!
>> And this selfishness sets us up to face the INTENSE ANGER OF GOD!
>> And it also sets up a MORAL trap.
THE SOLUTION
A MORAL TRAP means we need help from
>a PERFECT Person
>a POWERFUL Person
There is hope! Jesus, the only PERFECT & POWERFUL Person, can set man FREE from this moral trap. *Firstly, the anger of God was on him when he died on the cross for you.
**Secondly, we can be set free from selfishness.
It is the FREEDOM we need - TRUE FREEDOM to do what is RIGHT !!
ONLY JESUS CAN FREE US !!
SO WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO JESUS??
Just simply send me a comments & let's me know ..
I just want some advise & comments on how others also response ...
thanks
This message I got from the band from america name "Freedom" ,
I think is useful so I blog in myspace & also my blogger ..
*John 8:31-32
To the Jews who had believed him, jesus said," If you hold to my teaching, you are my disciples.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
**John 8:36-37
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word.
You get what I mean ???
