You are made to receive life and depend on God. This may seem like the opposite of maturity and freedom but actually it is at the heart of life. Jesus says your life is as connected to him and the Father as a branch is to the vine. Your reason for being is a product of that relationship.
John 15:5-8 (TLB) 5 “Yes, I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in me and I in him shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from me you can’t do a thing. 6 If anyone separates from me, he is thrown away like a useless branch, withers, and is gathered into a pile with all the others and burned. 7 But if you stay in me and obey my commands, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted! 8 My true disciples produce bountiful harvests. This brings great glory to my Father.
