You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. — Romans 6:18

You can't be free from sin and stay neutral. Everyone serves something. Before Christ, you were a slave to sin; now that you've been freed, you serve righteousness. But don't miss the grammar—it's 'being made free,' passive voice. God did it. Christ fulfilled the law for you. The Gospel doesn't just cancel the debt; it liberates the slave. Take his yoke upon you—it's easy, and his burden is light. Service to Christ isn't drudgery; it's the truest freedom there is.
