2 Peter 2:19
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”
“People are slaves to whatever has mastered them.” In my bible this verse has a footnote connecting to Romans 6:16-19. Paul is telling the Christians in Rome that they needed to be careful of whom or what they give themselves over to and become a slave.
You are free and willing to make whatever choice you want. We spoke recently though on how not all choices are good ones. You are also free to choose your master but not all masters are equal. You need to make the choice between slaves of sin which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness (Romans 6:16). The choice is yours!
That choice has been given to you by God. You are no longer a slave to sin. You no longer are chained by death. Satan has no hold on you. When you claimed your allegiance to God, you were set free! Free to make a choice. What will your choice be? Do you give in to your old self or do you choose to follow obedience and allegiance to the One who set you free!
Lord, I choose to be follow you and be a slave to the One who set me free! ~amen
