Slave to Sin: to be under the power and control of sin
Slave to Christ: to be under the power and control of righteousness
Slave of Sin to Salvation
Once, I was lost in a haze of wickedness, idolatry, and the depths of sin.
But in God’s timing, He chose me for salvation, lifting the veil from my eyes.
He fed me truths that were difficult to digest, awakening a hunger I never knew existed.
My appetite for authenticity grew insatiable, revealing the profound alignment of creation and demonstrating that genuine wisdom awaits anyone who seeks it with sincerity.
Consequently, I devour His word, yearning to understand it at deeper levels. M
y approach to reading the Bible is predominantly expository, even in my daily practice.
I’ve grasped the critical distinctions in hermeneutics: eisegesis misappropriates scripture to fit personal desires, whereas exegesis surrenders our agendas to receive what the Holy Spirit intends to reveal.
For me, Scripture is sustenance—more than mere text composed of human words; it transcends into divine nourishment as the Father wills.
The Word of God isn’t a banal rulebook for worldly success; it is not simply an instruction manual. H
is Word is dynamic—alive, active, capable of convicting, bearing witness, and sharper than a double-edged sword.
It slices through bone and marrow, soul and spirit.
While to the perishing, the Gospel may seem shrouded in mystery, the truth shines brightly for those embraced by faith and the sovereign will of God.
Understanding our limitations is both humbling and enlightening.
We should pursue knowledge while finding peace in the fact that God isn’t obliged to disclose everything to us.
The regenerative power of His Spirit transforms our vision—not through external changes but because we ourselves undergo profound internal shifts.
