Rom 6:16  Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves  for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?  

   I dare say we are all slaves to something it's just a matter of what. Being a slave to sin is easy, it's actually really easy. Far to often Christians are slaves to sin, we live in a word where most of the time you become a Christian and you never  partake in the freeing of sin. Let's look at a different translation of this verse.    Rom 6:16  Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living.    If it's true that we choose what we obey and if it's true we can choose not to be a slave to sin why would we?. Why wouldn't we choose freedom we live in a world where we are all about freedom but we don't choose to take the only freedom that truly matters. I am guilty of this far to often.

  I will partake in the freedom that Jesus gives us today when He died for our sins.
