7.6-Is Freedom just another word for nothing left to lose.

7.6-

True freedom is not freedom to do what we want, but rather freedom to do what we ought.
My neighbor, Ronnie, saw me taking out my trash can and ask if she could do this for me. I said, "Yes, if you would like to." For the six years she has done what she could to help and serve us.
2,000 years ago Jesus used His freedom to wash his betrayer, Judas' feet. His buddy, Peter, wrote, "Use your freedom to serve others."

I think I remember my college English teacher making us memorize a line, "Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage." The prison is me, me, me, selfishness.

1 Peter2.
¹⁶ Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. ¹⁷ Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.
¹⁸ Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. ¹⁹ For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. ²⁰ But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. ²¹ To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

²² “He committed no sin,
    and no deceit was found in his mouth.”^[h]

²³ When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. ²⁴ “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” ²⁵ For “you were like sheep going astray,”^[i] but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
