The Idol of Personal Autonomy

Romans 1:25 tells us that idols are not sinful things, in and of themselves, but good and basic things made to be ultimate things. The good and basic thing elevated into an ultimate thing is God’s gift of free-will - our personal freedom. Christianity has a very different understanding of personal freedom than that of our culture.
