Slaves to Righteousness

"and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. "
Romans 6 : 18,22

Slaves of righteousness... We're no longer slaves of sin. When we were slaves of sin, we couldn't get ourselves out of sin. So now since we're slaves of righteousness, we can't be anything BUT righteous! God doesn't see us any other way! And the package that it comes with isn't guilt, shame, weakness, or pain. Rather we're set apart for holiness and we're given eternal life. That's probably the best gift I've ever been given...and all I had to do was believe! I like the idea of being a slave to righteousness than a slave to sin. :)

Prayer: Father thank you so so so much for the amazing gift that You have given us. It's not something we can get on our own. Thank you that despite the sins we still commit, that You still see us as righteous. Please help us to overcome our sins so we can look more and more like Christ and become holy slaves of You.
