Those who wanted autonomy in their lives are the ones being autonomous and self-centered.
This is because your view of "Christianity" is devoid of love sir.
Salvation? Is it not Man's desire to be saved? Self-centered ghpn na. A person has two desires, either pleasures or liberation. Real love for God starts when you desire neither both. It begins when you want to do the Will of the Lord, regardless of whether or not you are Saved or not. You are dependent on the Lord's Will, not your will. When you really love someone, you would want to do something for that person, irregardless of whatever happens to you or at what cost. Similarly, if you really love God, you would want to render loving service to him, whether he grants you salvation or not. That's called unconditional love. You render service to God because it makes Him happy, not because you want him to award you salvation or whatever it is you desire.
