Christian Slave

"He who was called in the Lord as a slave is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a slave of Christ."
~ 1 Corinthians 7:22

Slavery brings with it a negatively connotated meanings. In fact our inherent understanding of slavery is not wrong, but should be taken in light of Scriptures.

Our slavery to any lord in this world if any is mercifully limited as freed man in the Lord who is Lord of all. At the same time, this means that while we are not bound to any lord in this world, our freedom is never totally free because God is ultimately the Lord of all. He is the only one who is Free outside of time.

However, as a Christian, our souls are bound to the worthy Lord who is the Supreme peaceful Ruler whose wisdom and joy mark His providential governance over all.

Praise be to God for we should and are indeed worthy slaves of Christ.
