How will people today judge obedience?

The French magazine Christs once wrote a questionnaire about obedience and published the most interesting answers. What did they reveal? First, young people must understand the young compliance adequately. They need Subordination at home, at school, and in the barracks. Therefore, they know it Only as a guardianship, a guardianship, a restriction of freedom.
This is not to say that they are all fundamentally opposed to this subordination. Some feel weak not independent. So they think that if they live in an institution, a religious society, they will find those who will look after them. “They will use my abilities better than  I could do alone,” wrote one novice. Interestingly, however, even those who seek obedience support for weakness sometimes fear that irresponsible leaders might take advantage of them and throw them apart when unneeded. It is mostly girls who fear this abuse of authority. Boys are not so afraid of superiors but instead of the system. By entering, for example, into an order, they condemn themselves to a job that won’t match their talents. Some young people have such an ideal image of obedience that it does not equate with real life and its weaknesses. A girl who did not marry because no bridegroom corresponded to her lofty view of marriage can scarcely find a religious society in which she does not see outstanding defects in the spirit of the Gospel.
A study of this questionnaire thus leads to a rather exciting conclusion. It is not true that all young people have an aversion to obedience. Many of them value this virtue very highly. They say that they are even willing to sacrifice much for it. For the most part, but for the most part, they are afraid that they can’t do the right thing nowadays,

Therefore, by obedience, they would get into the tow of the older adults, who don’t understand youth, in tow with the old systems, which are no longer for today’s world. The picture from the processed questionnaire is instructive, but it would be great if you could complete it. It speaks only of a specific part of the youth who have grown up both in a religious upbringing and in a free environment where the principle of personal freedom is quite self-evident. Can they understand, therefore, that one can renounce this treasure and voluntarily become dependent out of love for the greater good? But care must be taken not to

Those who seem to have a more refusing attitude towards obedience have never known true freedom and have been too constrained since childhood. Independence seems such a lofty ideal to them that all submission is only a coarser or finer degree of slavery. These disobedient ones, understandably, touch upon the problem of obedience at its roots. How can this virtue compare with the unwavering privilege of rational creatures – freedom?
Obedience and freedom
The answer to obedience must be sought in nature, the structure of man. The Church Fathers often explain what Scripture calls man God’s image (Gen 1:26). The so-called Alexandrian school exalts
as a divine attribute that we can know. The Antiochian school instead emphasizes that man is the master of the world. By his upright stature, he is distinguished from the other animals. He has reason and free will. God has built him in the center of paradise to give all others names. In the spirit of the Semitic mentality, this is to have control over everything and power. Thus, man is not created to obey but rather to rule.
This is confirmed by psychological observation. The child is developing where he can be independently active. Freedom is necessary for man to act morally and humanly dignified. We can know the truth that is independent of the world from men, which is absolute. Fact is meant to guide us; we must be guided by it. So is the human soul something so great that it can only submit to God, who is truth? To the Lord thy God shalt thou worship, and to him alone shalt thou serve him’ (Mt 4:10).
To man, however, this was not enough. He wanted more. He wanted to be like God, absolutely independent. In the first sin, the man denied the only worthy obedience, submission to God. As a punishment followed by the loss of total freedom, we were delivered into slavery to sin. The enslaved person must obey even where he is with his human dignity. Sin has made man a slave to his passions and sensual movements. Some men enslave others. The same is true in society, where so-called democratic freedom and liberty reign and so-called public opinion leads away from the pure truth. All human systems somehow force us to do even what we disagree with. But freedom is the necessary foundation of morality. If God wanted to redeem us from sin, He had to restore us to the freedom and glory of the children of God (Rom, 21). The work of salvation thus begins with the gradual restoration of freedom. God leads man to disobedience to the world, to all that is inferior, and speaks to him in his voice as once in paradise. Abraham, the father of all the elect, leaves the land of his ancestors and is led by the voice of the Lord, even if he asks of him the sacrifice of his child. Moses escapes from the slavery of the Egyptians, and at Sinai, he speaks with God.

Despite many difficulties, the Jews were put to their land, whereas a free people, they had over themselves only God’s word contained in the Law, which they interpreted to their prophets, men enlightened by the Spirit of God. They demanded, though, that they, too, should have a king over them, but God promised he would stand by his side. David and his successors were to lead the nation of Israel only where God wanted them. Thus, in the entire history of the Old Testament, God had never relinquished his absolute right. If He requires that Jews obey the written law because they are his own words. The prophets interpret the exact words. The Jews must also submit to external circumstances and the king’s orders, but God always clarifies that he has arranged it. We offer only to man, Scripture, and events because God speaks in them and only where we are sure that God says in them.
The culmination of this work of liberation is in the person of Jesus Christ, the God-man. Here, we are pretty sure we are listening to God, even though He speaks with human lips. From this point of view, it is clear that faithful Christian obedience is not only not against freedom but, on the contrary, sets us free. It teaches us to hear again the voice of God Himself. In the New Testament, this voice is heard by a human voice in Jesus Christ and resounds worldwide in those who speak in any way in his name. He set the example of obedience to his Father unto death. Therefore, God also gave him the power that every knee should bow to him in heaven, earth, and the underworld.
