Social Conservative Review: An Insider's Guide to Pro-Family News July 03, 2017 | Share with Friends Dear John, From its very beginnings, America has always been the destination of freedom seekers. Immigrants from all over the world have flocked to America's shores in the hope of finding something that their own native countries often lacked, but which they knew in their hearts must be possessed by every human person: freedom. But what is "freedom"? This is a debate that we continue to have as a country. As hundreds of U.S. citizens can attest, even a free democracy such as ours is prone to infringe upon the freedoms of its people unless it possesses a proper understanding of "freedom." Many think that freedom is simply the ability to choose whatever one wants. The problem with this thinking is that when someone chooses evil, it is not only bad for that person but also bad for everyone who is affected by that person's evil choice. True freedom, in the words of one author, "is a calling to realize in ourselves what is true about us, a calling to actualize in us all what is true, good, and beautiful." This Christian understanding of freedom is not constraining, as many argue. Rather, it is freeing. How? Because "the more one does what is good, the freer one becomes. There is no true freedom except in the service of what is good and just. The choice to disobey and do evil is an abuse of freedom and leads to 'the slavery of sin.'" The lightness of being and the joy that we experience when we freely choose good is a testament to God's design for freedom. This Fourth of July, let us celebrate the true freedom that Christ has fashioned in our lives and in our great country.
