sermon: Narrow Is the Way

God's Law Is a Hedge
John W. Ritenbaugh
Given 15-Apr-95; Tape #178B

Description: John Ritenbaugh teaches that biblical liberty consists of choosing to whom we will submit and by whom we will be constrained. Making wrong choices, largely in ignorance, has placed us in bondage to sin and destruction. God's truth indeed limits our choices—largely in matters of right and wrong. A mind focused on too many choices becomes confused, so when God gives us liberty, He for our good takes away most of the choices we would have if we continued in our carnal pursuits. Paradoxically, then, becoming a slave of righteousness—maintaining the narrow way—actually leads to freedom, peace of mind, and ultimately, God's Kingdom. (45 minutes)
