Interestingly, though many a times,freedom wars are fought so that one nation need not be in servitude of another, in Christianity, freedom (liberty) that is given, when one believes in Jesus Christ, is not so that one need not serve anymore, but in fact it is given freely so that one does serve. Liberty in Jesus Christ is given so that we will be obedient and willing servants of the Most High God. When we believe in Jesus Christ, we are made free from being slaves to sin to being servants of righteousness.
Points to ponder:
“Are you/I free?” In other words, that same question can be asked, “Are you/I a servant of God?”
1 Peter 2:15-16 (KJV)
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1 Corinthians 7:22 (KJV)
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.
