It is an example of the effectiveness of “deception” that we could consider a selfish life apart from God and His will to be real freedom. And we could consider living our lives, as we were created to live, by our awesome, loving Maker, to be a form of restraint. “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM.” 2Corinth.3:17

I think this is a hard concept to grasp unless you have felt it, even a little bit. Once you feel it, even if you just get a taste, you understand. It's a great reason to keep growing in Christ.
That's true, Mary, some degree of firsthand experience is probably necessary in order to understand life in Christ as true freedom. Good point, thanks!
