The Forgotten Call of Christians (Part 2)
Here is the issue. God is our Creator, and thus our Master, our Owner, Definer, and Determiner. But when we belong to God, we are actually free to be what He made us to be. Our true Master sets us free. And a slave can only have one master, as it is written, "No one can serve two masters. He will love one and hate the other, or serve one and despise the other." We have a Creator, a true Master. But if we reject Him, we are accepting Satan, and his oppression. There is no way around it. We are going to be someone's slave. But we can choose our master, as it is written, "Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves, whom you obey?"
We can choose our Master, and we can point others to their true Master, God their Creator.
We can be liberators.
We can be truly free, and let others be truly free around us, seeking only self-control as our goal.
Imagine that.
Imagine that the only one you're trying to control, the only thing you're trying to control, is your own will. Imagine how free you will be, and how free others will be around you. And when they want to know why you're so free, you'll tell them:
"Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed."
"It is for freedom that Christ has set me free. I stand firm, and will not allow myself to be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
"Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed."
"It is for freedom that Christ has set me free. I stand firm, and will not allow myself to be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
Be free.
Set others free.
This is the forgotten call of Christians.
