Today’s Thought “Run Away Slave” G. Ward

 

“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? ² May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?” Romans 6:1-2

 

There’s an American philosophy that’s become so entirely pervasive, disabling a better message of eternality. Moreover, this perception in believer-ship (very particularly in Christ), has been viewed as weak, maintaining a less rigid adherence (i.e. cheapened grace). It (the Word of God) compels us towards a life of total surrender unto Him (cf. Ro.10:9a). Our calling Him Master, or Owner of my life is often equated to slavery of the 18^th century (in America). A limited scope can be eternity’s detriment, causing eternal separation from Holy God (cf. Ro.6:23). Why not surrender to this Great Master? His protection is without parameter. Furthermore, in view of His great sacrifice for you and me, we owe this King a great indebtedness (cf. Jn.3:17).

Happy Monday!
