What then? Are we to sin “because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? Romans 6:15-16. That the Christian is not under law but under grace might appear to provide a license for moral carelessness. Paul denies this, since under the reign of grace Christians have become slaves of God. The freedom of grace is therefore freedom for obedience and service, not for license in moral carelessness. Paul called himself a “bond slave” of Christ. Today, consider the depth of what it means to be a slave and whom it is you tend to be most obedient towards remembering “you are slaves to the one you obey.”
