“Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ” (1 Corinthians 9:12).
If you do not have freedom from your freedom then you are but a slave to your wants. Natural expressions of freedom are always self-indulgent and self-asserting, while Christlike expressions of freedom involve self-denial. Freedom is a privilege that comes with responsibility.
