“The point is taken up again and again in the New Testament. If we do not live the good news in joy and in freedom, we quickly turn it into a constraint, an obligation, or a law, which is the exact opposite. The moment someone has lived the experience that the kingdom of heaven is more important and beautiful than anything encountered before, it puts everything else in a different light. This includes possessions, ideological commitments, spiritual orientation, or anything else that is part of the context of our daily life.”
Jacques Ellul On Freedom, Love, and Power.
