“Perhaps a definition of the biblical understanding of freedom might be formulated in parallel to Mill’s definition: The only freedom that deserves the name is that of freely pursuing the good of others, not by depriving them of liberty, but by promoting their liberty” (Richard Bauckham, “Freedom in the Bible: Exodus and Service,” GOD AND THE CRISIS OF FREEDOM, p. 20).”
yes, yes, yes. This is what I do my best to teach. As well, this is also the definition of mutuality or mutual submission. And it is the picture of unity in marriage. This is the way a true “head of” and a “body of” connect and stay together. This is also the picture of a true servant/slave that Christ spoke of in Matt. 20:25-28
