Free- on the inside

John 8:31-36

1. What is true slavery and what is true freedom?

Everyone who sins is a slave to sin. That is true slavery.

Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.

So if the Son (Jesus) sets you free, it is true freedom.


Titus 2:9-10; 1 Corinthians 10:31-33

2. Why should slaves/employees obey their masters/employers?

Slaves are to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractivee.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God. For we are not seeking our own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
