God does not intend to ruin all our fun and make
life into something we endure with rolling eyes, deep sighs and great misery…
like a teenager with a brand new driver’s license and a curfew. However, God
does set moral boundaries for us.
When the concept of moral boundaries arises some
people will point out, “Aha! See? That’s what I mean. Despite what you say,
Dan, these boundaries are evidence of the fact that God wants to ruin our fun
and make life miserable!”
This understanding of the boundaries is not correct.
God’s boundaries are for our protection. They are
for our benefit. I have crossed God’s boundaries on numerous occasions—I hate
to admit that but it is true—and found that ultimately I was the one who got
hurt.
God does not have boundaries because He is mean and
oppressive. God has boundaries for us because He knows us and He loves us.
