That's why barbed wire, steel bars, and concrete barriers confine criminals. Or consider a campfire that is allowed to spread in a dry forest. It quickly becomes a blazing inferno.
Unchecked freedom can create chaos.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the Christian life. Believers are free from the law's curse, its penalty, and its guilt-producing power. Fear, anxiety, and guilt are replaced by peace, forgiveness, and liberty. But here is where we often fail. We use freedom's luxury to live selfishly, or we claim ownership of what God has merely entrusted to us.
