⁴⁵ I will walk about in freedom,
       for I have sought out your precepts.

Then after seeking God's law, we receive joy from obeying it, but because we CHOOSE to obey, it is not forced. It is our free will. In this way of choosing to obey, we are joyful in the freedom of Christ. That is what Elizabeth was saying yesterday. The tree of knowledge of good and evil was present in the Garden of Eden to instill freedom in the joy Adam and Eve had with God before the fall. If the tree was not there, there was no choice...there was no freedom. IT INNATELY HAD TO BE THERE FOR TRUE FREEDOM. Thanks be to our Lord who has given us everything we need for Godliness and Holiness that we may continuously perfect holiness out of reverence for Him.
