Free to Pursue True Happiness

What really infringes on a person’s liberty is whatever prevents them from obtaining their greatest purpose in life, which is to be truly happy.  A life lived in bondage to sin can never enjoy genuine happiness.  Nothing is worse than a condition of slavery to sin.  Titus 3:3 describes unbelievers as “slaves to passions and pleasures.”  When various lusts take the throne of a person’s heart, the entire life becomes disordered.  God has provided the means to break that bondage in Christ.  When people reject Him, they are rejecting the only means that can free them from sin.  They are rejecting the only means that can make them happy; the only means by which people can enjoy what they where created for.  A final thought on “free will” tomorrow.
