It's a matter of fellowship and headship. We cannot have it both ways. This 'yielding' is a 'slavery'. It is 'bondage'. Whether a person wants to admit it or not, if they wish to control their own life, they are in bondage to sin.
Humanity has a built-in sense of 'belonging'.
It's just like everybody says. He has all these 'expectations' of us. Well, when we were in sin, certainly, we were 'free' from God. But look at the life in sin. Debauchery, lust, hate, anger, etc.
