Question: How can you speak of the believer's freedom when God is sovereign over every detail of life including our decision making?

Answer: I believe in the sovereign will of God. But God's sovereignty versus human responsibility will have to wait until chapters 12 and 13. In this chapter, we have explored passages that clearly teach freedom within revealed limits. Freedom is the Bible's word-"From any tree of the garden you may eat freely" (Gen. 2:16). I believe that when God said it, He meant it. What better term than freedom could we use?
