Bond Slave Of Christ

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 4, 2017

The more deeply a person surrenders to Christ and becomes dependent on Him daily, the more likely they are to finish the spiritual race in victory. Early Christians described it with the metaphor "bond-slave." It's what we're supposed to be!

Spiritual Warfare Ephesians 6:10-18 As a Christian, when we have lived a prayerful and faithful life, it becomes pretty clear that life is not a playground. But it is a battleground.

God Made Me This Way Series
