Cryptic opening remarks from tomorrow's world lit class

Hell is the place where you get what you want only and always. Only and always getting what you want is not freedom but slavery. We can be a slave to self and remain a slave (to sin, to our own impulses), or choose to become a slave to God and be set free. There is no third option. In Romans 6 Paul puts it very clearly—we have a choice between slaveries. The first option is death that results in nothing but Death. The other is a death that leads to Life.
