The fact that a man is loved does not give him carte blanche to do as he likes; it lays upon him the greatest obligation in the world, the obligation of being worthy of that love.

…it makes things almost agonizingly and impossibly difficult, for it lays upon us this ultimate obligation of seeking to be worthy of the love of God.
— The Letter to the Colossians, William Barclay, page 150
