“Many initially believe that the commandments of God are a limitation of human freedom, possibilities, and desires without thinking about the fact that it is a sin that enslaves human’s will and leads to eternal destruction. The commandments of God are exactly the means that limit the influence and weaken the effect of a sin. When we accept them as our natural necessity, keeping them becomes easy and joyous.”

(Metropolitan Anthony of Boryspil and Brovary  in ‘Orthodox Life’)
