Boundaries define us. They define what is you and what is not you. A boundary shows you where you end and where someone/something else begins, leading to a sense of ownership.
Think of how confusing it would be if someone told you to "guard this property diligently, because I will hold you responsible for what happens here," and then did not tell you the boundaries of the property. Or they did not give you the means with which to protect the property. This would be not only confusing but also potentially dangerous.
The Bible tells us clearly what our parameters are and how to protect them, but often our family, or other relationships, confuse us about our parameters.
In addition to showing us what we are responsible for, boundaries help us define what is not on our property and what we are not responsible for. We are not, for example, responsible for other people. Nowhere are we commanded to have 'other-control', although we spend a lot of time and energy trying to get it!
