Slaves of God instead of slaves to sin? As Paul continues laying out what the church looks like, he’s made a real progression. Jews and Gentiles equalized by the cross, doing nothing of their own accord, saved only by Christ… but now we are slaves to righteousness? It’s difficult to imagine being drawn to righteousness in the same way we’re drawn to sin, but the good news is that it’s still not our initiative or our own power that gets us there. It’s still the power and initiative of God, and the Spirit lives among us to bring this reality to life in us.
