Sinful humans think they can find freedom by self-confidently controlling themselves and their own lives. But they are warned that they can only win freedom by abdicating this to control to another—not to other humans, who would reduce them to the rank of a slave, but to God, who will accept them as his children. To be able to do what one wants is only the appearance of freedom; true freedom is to will what God does [emphasis mine].
