005: Have you made bad choices because of freedom?
Episode description
Reading:
Romans 13:14: "But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." (ESV)Freedom never felt so good. So, here is my question for you ladies: have you made bad choices lately because of freedom? I am very traditional. I follow rules by the book. My greatest weaknesses are in passion and pleasure. Titus 3:3 states clearly "For we were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another." I realize that my concept of freedom (for example, to hate other people, to envy them, to do everything I want) is wrong. I am being slaved by sin. Romans 13:14, ESV: reminds me to put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify my desires. Reflecting on this verse brings me back to my younger self when I just got saved. There was a strong struggle of your old sinful nature and the human spirit.
Bible verses used in the story:
