Being A Slave Means It’s Easy (Righteousness And Life)
Length: 12 Minutes
If you were to read Romans 5-7 (and a bit of chapter 8) you would find words like “reign, slave, dominion, captivity, and law (as in a governing authority).” There are a lot of words describing a slave/master relationship.

And in these various structures that God has set forth, there will be authority figures for us to submit to, but there’s a right way to do that.
