Psalm 101
We discover at the end of Revelation that the new Jerusalem is a gated community (21:8). The wicked are kept out and will by no means enter to disrupt the community of God's glorified people. We discover in the Gospel of John that Jesus is the gate and through Him is plentiful pasture to roam in freedom (10:9). The wicked of this world shortcut freedom by arrogantly asserting their independence from any and all restrictions and definitions. It looks like liberty, but it is not out from under all law. The man free-falling from an airplane is only freed from the ground for so long. His falling is only freedom until it isn't. The firm, established ground below ends his frolic abruptly.
