Right Attitudes, Part I

Who God sent us

Romans 1:2-5 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.

[1 Peter 1:19] - The slave exists for his master.  - The slave didn’t have a day off.  - The slave’s will belongs to the master. [2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV] - Throughout the Bible, being a slave of God is the highest honor.
