Epistles
“Now, having been freed from sin, you have become slaves of God” (Rom 6:19-23)
Romans 6:19-23: Becoming a “slave of God” as true freedom—from sin to holiness, from shame to dignity, and the promise of eternal life.
Old Testament
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.”
Exodus 20:2-3: God reveals himself as liberator before imposing the law. This first commandment transforms the slave into a free son, calling for exclusivity that restores dignity.
