To many God is an autocratic ruler. Yes He is. However to those that understand the message of grace; the balance of His mercy and judgement, God grants democratic freedom according to our level of knowledge of freedom and the level of knowledge of working and abiding by the principles of the democracy-freedom He has granted us. For those who see grace as a means to do what they like, they are children who cannot handle freedom and liberty, the democratic right and knowledge are withdrawn. It is just the same way freedom of speech does not grant one the right to say just anything. The freedom in Christ Jesus empowers us to know that such freedom was bought with a very heavy price. Nothing is totally free, It was just bought by someone to be used freely by someone. Jesus paid the price for your freedom but don't take the freedom as a license to do whatever you like.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?’-Marianne Williamson
