    Bond Slave Of Christ

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 4, 2017
     | 6,562 views

    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!

    BOND SLAVE OF CHRIST 1 Cor. 6:19-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: A SURE-FIRE SOLUTION 1. "I could sure do with your help, Steve," Isaac said to his best friend. “All right, so what's your problem?" replied Steve. 2.

    On this path of sanctification, we will experience sufferings and hardships, but we can trust in God's providence, His divine purpose and His protection over us. We will grow into the likeness of Christ and finish the race in victory.

    Sin has infected the race. It contaminates our lives, ultimately ensuring our death. The Son of God was born to offer His life as a sacrifice, taking the sin of all mankind upon Himself. This is the neglected message of Christmas.

    “To the woman [God] said, ‘I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.’ “And to Adam he said, ‘Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the ...read more

Pictures would be carved into wood and then inked and press printed hundreds of times into books. Few of the books contained many words - ...read more
