GEMS from HEAVEN: Revelation 4:3; 21:10-21
We all are slaves or servants to someone, whether of God or Satan. How unaware are many that they are enslaved to the ways of sin which are the ways of Satan? They do his bidding by living in sin in the destruction of all that is good and right. They use their bodies to fulfill their selfish desires. They use foul language to slander others in order to destroy their reputation and to make themselves look good. They reject the knowledge of God only to promote and live the destructive and miserable ways of the devil.
Here is the GEM: through Christ one can be set free from such destruction to being a slave of what is right, good and wholesome. One can and will then become an instrument of righteousness, regaining the dignity and honor lost under the slavery of Satan. When it is all said and done, eternal life with God. Now that, is the way to live in servitude.
“Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?
But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.”
Romans 6:16-18
