One way to look at your ideas in Judeo/Christian expression is the combination of purpose and freedom. Paul thinks the purpose is that we are "predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ." I take this to mean that our ultimate destiny is to become aware of participating in "I am". Of course the process of becoming this person involves choosing, learning, developing, etc. This is why I appreciate the words of Luther, "love God and sin boldly." I interpret "sin" with "live" boldly, or choose boldly, knowing that the purpose is that in the end we will become more aware and actually like the imago dei.
