“…we come to realize that the reign and rule and kingdom of Christ are not so much over us, as in us: when we choose His will, we choose true freedom, true mastery over ourselves. We experience the liberation from the tyranny of sin that Christ won for us on the Cross. That slave driver known as sin, the terrible compulsion of the passions—Christ’s love will drive all of this away, if we but say the word. “
(Metropolitan Tikhon of the OCA, ‘Reflections in Christ’)
