Many of you enjoy saying things like "I serve only God" and "I am the Lord's slave"
You wish to go to Heaven, where you will spend an eternity serving God.
What is this fascination with being enslaved?

we are all slaves; slaves to death. And slaves to sin, unless you bind yourself to God. In Jesus' name. It isn't a fasciation, but a reality. I recommend this site: www.desiringgod.org
for a different perspect of what it means to "be the Lord's "slave""

All faith relies upon or the two what's written in a e book that can't be proved , or what a individual feels or believes which won't be able to be shown the two . Atheists in basic terms say theists have not any suited scientific or historic info of the declare a "God" exists . some atheists cutting-edge info that contradict some non secular ideals , thoughts or writings . Atheists will say that the theory interior the religion prevents them from accepting historic and scientificic info . some theists say the words interior the writings tutor the "universal info" to be incorrect and extra scientific learn will tutor the writtings . The atheists take be conscious that some info are byond any probability of the writtings proving they are incorrect . it is very genuine of Genesis interior the Bible . Theists can not tutor the devil is deceiving the atheists . however the atheists can tutor that the writings are preserving the theists from accepting cutting-edge scientific info . all of it comes all the way down to acceptace of historic previous and technology vs. popularity of writings and preachings .

The Jews had been enslaved for centuries. I guess it was comfortable for them to envision themselves as slaves to God rather than slaves to Egyptians, Babylonians etc.

I love to serve God. It is a pleasure. I choose to spend eternity in heaven with God. That is why I practice it here.

To serve the living God is the most liberating thing in the universe.
Romans 8;2, For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
I Cr 13;8a

Think of it this way.. I'm a bondservant of my Lord Jesus Christ. That means I'm a servant by choice. I don't have to serve, I GET to serve the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, my Jesus who did so I can live.

Offering service requires moral values. It's something that would never occur to you if you're self-centered.
Christians who go into ministries often never turn back because of the depth of fulfillment in knowing that someone else in the world thinks of you as a hero.

Repent, ask for forgiveness, and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart. You would be a much happier person if you served and praised the Good Lord.

Not understanding who they are in Christ Jesus. We are children of God, not slaves. He is our Lord, and we are faithful servants; not to be confused with slavery, but with dutifully fufilling the work inspired by the Holy Spirit of God- it is a privilage to be united with our God. Is it a privilage to care for your child, right? It isa privilage care for my God.
