Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God— — Romans 1:1

Paul leads with his identity: bond-servant. But this is not drudgery—it is freedom. Being Christ's servant means you are not your own; you have been bought with a price. You take His yoke upon you, and you find rest for your soul. His service is perfect freedom, because the Son has truly set you free.
