It is a modern idea that freedom of individual choice is the apex of life. Jesus said love God and your neighbor with all you have. All God's laws, purpose and fulfillment flow from this love. Your freedom of choice is first to choose to base your life in this love.
Matthew 22:37-40 (TLB) 37 Jesus replied, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.’ 38-39 This is the first and greatest commandment. The second most important is similar: ‘Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself.’ 40 All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets stem from these two laws and are fulfilled if you obey them. Keep only these and you will find that you are obeying all the others.”
