"In Christ, the new free man, God promised and revealed and created the way to a new and true freedom. Sinful man thinks he can find freedom by self-confidently controlling himself and his own life. But he is warned that he can only win freedom by abdicating this control to another - not to men, who would reduce him to the rank of a slave, but to God, who will accept him as his child. To be able to do what one wants is only the appearance of freedom; true freedom is to will what God does."
- from The Church by Hans Küng
