Independence

Independence is freedom in action. However, consider the following analogy - a violin string, when totally "independent" of the violin for which it was created, is "free" to twist and turn but not to do what a violin string is designed to do: produce music. By the same token, you are "free" when your life is uncommitted - but not free to be what God - the God Who created you - intended you to be. Real freedom is not freedom FROM God, but freedom WITH God through the salvation which is in Jesus Christ.

"Freedom is a two-sided coin: on one side is privilege; on the other, responsibility".
