True freedom isn’t found in living without restraint, it’s found in living under the rule of righteousness. Paul didn’t fight for comfort or popularity; he laid down his life for a greater crown. When we live with eternity in view, we stop preserving ourselves and start presenting ourselves: fully surrendered. "Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing" (2 Timothy 4:8).
