A young person asked, "If I was the last person on earth, would I be able to do anything I want?"

Actually, we don't have to be hypothetical about this because there was a time when there was only one person on earth. His name was Adam. But there was a limitation on what he could do. God knew that the fullness of life could only be experienced when God was the center of human existence. So God gave Adam a simple command regarding not eating from one tree as a tangible way in which Adam could live in humble reliance on God's will for his life.

Similarly, real freedom for us today is not found in going to Vegas and leaving our inhibitions and morality behind for a weekend. Real freedom to live as life was designed comes from the truth that sets us free: Jesus has rescued us to once again live in humble reliance on God's will for our lives.
