One of the key aspects of living a moral life in Christ is understanding the importance and power of the gift of human freedom.
If we stop and think about it, it’s fairly obvious that we often undervalue the gift of freedom or take it for granted to some extent. The Catechism reminds us that “God created man as a rational being, conferring on him the dignity of a person who can initiate and control his own actions” (CCC 1730).
It’s common today to find people who misunderstand the meaning of human freedom on several levels.
Objective: This course will teach you all about what it means to have Human Freedom and the power to choose. Students will learn how outside temptations and influences can play a role in our choices and exactly why God granted us this gift of freedom.
The choices we make of a moral nature affect ourselves and others. They can play out in thousands of people’s lives in vast, unpredictable ways. And they play out in eternity because we can choose good or we can choose evil.
