“Having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” Romans 6:18 Some of the Roman believers apparently didn’t understand what it meant to be free from sin’s bondage. They thought they could go on sinning because they were under grace. So Paul reminded them of their status in Jesus by appealing to a familiar fact: Whatever we submit to becomes our master (John 8:34). To commit sin puts us in bondage to sin. The other option is to be a slave of righteousness. Salvation means a change of bondage. As we once served sin, we are now committed to lives of righteousness because of the freedom Jesus provides. Let us become in practice what we already are in status – free! True freedom is found in bondage to Christ.
