okay? So the title in, for today's
-
message is slaves to righteousness.
-
There is no such thing as unrestricted, Freedom, like, you
-

-
to something or someone either a slave to sin or to
-
righteousness. We are slaves.

-
This. Okay, whatever you do, wherever
-
you go. Remember, you are a slave to
-
righteousness. All right?
-
Again, we can either be a slave to sin, which is our natural
-
state, or we can be a slave to righteousness that can be done
-
in Christ alone. So, unless you are born again,
-
you cannot be a slave to righteousness.
-
All right, so we are slaves. Either way.
-
Okay, if you are not in Christ right now, you are not born
-
again yet. Then you are a slave to what to
-
sin, okay? You are obliged to commit sin.
-
You cannot say no to sin. You have no power to resist sin
-
because you're a slave to sin, but once you commit your life to
-
Jesus, once you surrender your life to Jesus and make him your
-
lord and savior, okay? At that moment on the Bible
-
says, when you believe You were given the Holy Spirit.
-
Okay, as a deposit guaranteeing your salvation, okay?
-
And that is why we need to cooperate with the Holy Spirit,
-
okay? Because we cannot be wholly,
-
okay? We cannot live a holy life
-
without the Holy Spirit. Only the Holy Spirit can help us
-
walk in Holiness. That's why he is, he is called
-
Holy Spirit. Okay, so He is our power.
-
He is our helper, okay? He will help us walk in
-
Holiness. All right.
-
So, but the Revelation about being a slave to righteousness
-
is very important. So that we are always aware.
-
We're conscious that wherever you go, whatever we do, okay.
-
We should, you know, remind ourselves or we pray to God
-
that, you know, Lord or God, the Holy Spirit.
-
Spirit, please remind me always that.
-
I am a slave to righteousness, okay?
-
So this topic is so important that, you know, I want you to
-
share this to your friends, okay?
-
Especially those who have been a Christian for a long time and
-
then, you know, maybe they're not coming to church anymore or
-
we don't know what happened to them or how busy they are.
-
But you see Very important because, you know, we need to
-
always remember that this Revelation this truth about
-
being a slave to righteousness matters, okay.
-
So, and also we will not understand, or we cannot
-
appreciate. You know, why God freed Us From
-
Slavery, only or in order to be A slave again.
-
Okay, it's like From Slavery to slavery.
-
So make sure that you catch the Revelation.
-
Okay? Why?
-
In Christ we become slaves to righteousness, okay?
-
Or feel free to watch this episode, this sermon again, or
-
repeat this re sermon, you know, until you get the point, okay?
-
And our goal is for you to see the Morton's of an ongoing
-
sanctification. Okay, so we have in Christ.
-
Once you're born again, in the spirit, there is an instant, you
-
know, sanctification, okay? You are made righteous
-
instantly, but because we are still in the flesh, we're still
-
here on Earth. There is what we call an ongoing
-
process of sanctification. I want to give to you the
-
scripture Romans 12:2. It says, do not conform to the
-
pattern of this world. World.
-
But be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
-
Then you will be able to test and approve.
-
What God's will is his good pleasing and perfect will let me
-
emphasize the word renewing. Okay.
-
Do not conform to the pattern of this world.
-
Okay. And it says, but be transformed
-
by the white by the renewing, by the renewing.
-
Of your mind. Renewing is an ongoing thing.
-
It's right now, okay? For as long as we're here, okay,
-
we are, you know, guide is processing us, okay.
-
God is not done with us yet, so we go through an ongoing.
-
Sanctification, okay, renewing of your mind.
-
So this topic concerning slaves to righteousness will help us
-
will remind us. Okay, That we are what a slave
-
to righteousness. So that instead of living Our
-
Lives irresponsibly, you know we will what be aware will be
-
conscious that God is monitoring our hearts, okay?
-
That it's very important that we cooperate with the Holy Spirit
-
who is working to transform us in Christ likeness but not to
-
become ADT, okay? Not to be God.
-
But there's only one God and we are his creation, okay?
-
You should we should always remember that.
-
So we hope that through this topic we can encourage you to
-
cooperate with God the Holy Spirit at all times, concerning
-
your spiritual growth transformation and fruitfulness
-
or productivity. Okay.
-
So again, always remember whatever you do.
-
Wherever you go. Remember, you are a slave to
-
righteousness, you belong to Christ.
-
Okay? Sin does not have authority.
-
Does not have the power over you.
-
You are no longer obliged to commit sin, you're no longer
-
obliged to yield the same, okay? In Christ.
-
But if you're not in Christ yet, then you sin is your master,
-
okay? You have no power to resist sin,
-
that's why it's very important. Don't understand that.
-
The Lord Jesus Christ died in the cross to free us from the
-
power of sin. He paid the price so we can go
-
free. But then with that freedom
-
actually leads to another form of a servant Hood.
-
Okay? Or slavery.
-
But it's not it's a different kind of stable you let me.
-
I will explain that later. Okay so the keys.
-
Scripture for today's message is Romans chapter 6.
Romans 6 chapter mention
-
Let's begin from verse 16. It says don't you know that when
-
you offer yourself to someone as obedient slaves you are slaves
-
to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin, which leads
-
to death or to obedience, which leads to righteousness.
-
But thanks be to God that through, I mean, but thanks be
-
to God that, though. You used to be slaves to sin you
-
have. Come to be from your heart, the
-
pattern of teaching that has. Now claimed Your Allegiance, you
-
have been set free from sin and have become slaves to
-
righteousness, Verse 18, you have been set free from sin and
-
have become slaves to righteousness.
-
I am using an example from everyday life because of your
-
human limitations just as you used to offer yourselves as
-
slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing - so, now offer
-
yourselves as slaves to righteousness, leading to
-
Holiness, okay? So that is the end goal that we
-
live. Holy lives.
-
Okay. Verse 28 says, when you were
-
slaves to sin, you were free from the control of
-
righteousness. What benefit did you rip at the
-
time? From the things that you are now
-
ashamed of those things result in death, but now That you have
-
been set free from sin and have become slaves to God the
-
benefit, you rip leads to Holiness Holiness.
-
And the result is eternal life. Eternal life verse 23.
-
Last verse for a reading, For the wages of sin is death.
-
But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ.
-
Jesus, our lord. So that verse 23 is a verse that
-
is so famous. Yeah, we're familiar with verse
-
23 because we always, we can, you know, this verse not abuse
-
but it's always use in Evangelistic.
-
Pamphlets. Okay, so the way this wasn't
-
over the penalty for sin is death but the gift of God is
-
eternal life in Christ. Jesus our lord but that is that
-
is not the the whole picture of it, okay?
-
So you have to read back, okay? Because they are proceeding
-
scriptures that points to what that we need to be freed from
-
the slavery of sin. So that we can be a slave to
-
righteousness. All right.
-
So that is the context of the passage of scripture that we
-
just read. Now, going back to verse 18, it
-
says, okay, that in Christ we have been, what verse 18 we have
-
been set free from sin. All right?
-
We have been set, free from sin and have become slaves to
-
righteousness now, First of all, the term slave does not, does
-
not have a positive impact. Okay.
-
It does not have a it has a negative connotation.
-
Okay. Too many people others might
-
attach a slave the word slave to harsh treatment.
-
You know, when you're a slave you can attach it.
-
We can connect it with the cruelty.
-
All right, we can Kitt, I mean cruelty in slavery.
-
Okay? So it is a unpleasant word to
-
here, okay? We feel uncomfortable when they
-
are, you're a slave, that's my slaves, you know, we feel
-
uncomfortable with the word slave, you know, it's really
-
inconvenient but you know, that makes Romans 6:1 of one of the
-
unconscious uncomfortable. Chapters to read in the Bible,
-
right? But that word slave can actually
-
be interchange with the word servant, okay?
-
Because if you read from the Greek, the word slave in Greek,
-
is doulos. Okay.
-
Do loss, which means slave issuance servant, or a bond
-
servant or in Modern English slave.
-
Okay, that's why in King James version.
-
It uses the word servant instead.
-
I love slave. Okay?
-
But do it uses the word servant it you says slave also one time
-
okay once only once. So either ways whether slave or
-
servant or bondservant. Okay, if we mean the same thing,
-
okay? In this particular subject, so
-
let us try. But here's the thing, a slave.
-
Whoa. So we feel like Like is God
-
cruel, you know, is God is a master slave master, right slave
-
master? No, I want you to understand.
-
Not from that perspective, but becoming a slave to
-
righteousness in the right perspective.
-
That's why this revelation of being a slave to righteousness
-
very important. So, what is the right
-
perspective? You know why, the Bible mentions
-
that Christians have become slaves?
-
Yves to righteousness. Okay.
-
Let's so let's start let's try to quantify that truth.
-
Okay? Why God freed us from slavery in
-
order to be as live again. Okay.
-
So again it's it's From Slavery to is slavery.
-
First Corinthians. Let's read this one.
-
First Corinthians 6:19-20, 20. So you will have an
-
understanding. Why?
-
Okay? Why the Bible says said that we
-
became a slave to righteousness, Amplified version we're reading
-
Amplified version First Corinthians 6:19 okay.
-
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?
-
A spirit who is within you whom you have received as a gift from
-
God and that you are not your own property.
-
Okay. You are not your own property.
-
Verse 20 says, you were bought with a price.
-
You were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and
-
made his own. Okay?
-
So many to say, he made us his own, okay, because we were
-
bought with a price, okay? I want you to take note of that,
-
we, all of us, okay? We became Believers, we became
-
followers of Christ, we became Christians, because We were
-
bought with a price in the cross, okay, by the blood of
-
Jesus, he died for us. He paid our sins.
-
He paid our debt. That we cannot pay.
-
And that is why since Jesus bought us, okay, since Jesus
-
bought us, so we become his. We became his right?
-
I'm not done yet with that part. It says you were bought with a
-
price, okay? You were actually purchased with
-
the precious blood of Jesus and made his own.
-
So then it says, honor and glorify God with your body.
-
That's why you cannot do anything that you want.
-
There is no such a thing as 100% Independence or Freedom, okay?
-
You cannot do what you want. Even though you have been
-
redeemed by the blood of the Lamb you've been Justified you
-
were clenched. You were forgiven.
-
And you have eternal life but you have no 100% freedom to live
-
the way. You want to live your life.
-
And why is that? Because you are a slave to
-
righteousness. That's the reason why you cannot
-
be your own right. So, so again, you have to take
-
note of that, you are not your own, okay?
-
You were bought with a price, you were bought With a price
-
that means you. And I mean, that means we are
-
now his slaves because what? Because he bought us.
-
All right. Actually, it's not just that he
-
bought us but he created us. So from the very beginning, he
-
owns US. Okay.
-
But but you see he bought us. Oh, that's Double Point.
-
Double reason why he has two right over us and we don't have
-
full rights to ourselves to do, how we want to live our lives.
-
We were bought with a price, therefore we are slaves to
-
righteousness, okay? So we were set free from one
-
slavery from the slavery of sin, of course, in order for us to
-
become his bond And servant. All right, so I want you to
-
picture this. Let me give you this
-
illustration, okay. Before we came to Christ, we
-
were already in sin. Okay?
-
We were Sinners, right? And we cannot resist sin, and
-
because of sin, we were already Doom bound to destruction, Bound
-
To Hell. Okay, we were condemned to die.
-
And to suffer Eternal death. That is how that was our
-
condition before coming to the Lord.
-
Jesus Christ. Therefore, you know what's the
-
point, okay, of doing things. Are we living Our Lives.
-
The way we wanted when, you know, what the point is?
-
We were already condemned to die to suffer Eternal death, apart
-
from Christ, but remember this, because Does God loved us.
-
He provided the way. Okay, Jesus became man to die
-
for mankind to represent mankind, he died in our place.
-
It's a substitutionary death, he paid the price, he paid the
-
debt, our debt, okay? In in other words, we were
-
condemned to die, but he purchased us.
-
Okay, that's the summary. We were all.
-
We were condemned already. No, we were about, we were
-
heading to that predicament, but then he purchased us.
-
Hallelujah. He bought us to set us free from
-
the power of sin and death, okay?
-
But in the process of that transaction of paying the price,
-
we became his. Alright, so we became his, so
-
example, another example. So I hope everyone One will get
-
this simple. Illustration.
-
Okay. What I have here in my hand
-
right now. It's a phone.
-
Okay. So when this phone was
-
manufactured in in the company in Samsung company I don't I
-
have nope I have no ownership of this gadget or device.
-
All right, so let's say this phone is you okay, this is you.
-
All right, imagine that this phone is you So this phone was
-
at one time displayed in a store, okay, particular to be
-
specific. This was displayed in Samsung
-
store inside the mall SM most in excellent.
-
Okay. It was I don't know what year
-
but okay. But now then my wife and I
-
decided to Buy this phone from, from that store.
-
Okay, at SM e:. And then after paying for this
-
phone, of course, they gave us the receipt and they prepare the
-
phone, then after paying for this phone, this becomes mine
-
correct? This phone becomes mine.
-
Okay, it belongs to me and I can I can use it.
-
However, I want to use It. Okay.
-
I can drop it. I can throw it.
-
I can download some applications, why?
-
Because it's already mine. Okay.
-
Why? Because I purchased it.
-
I paid for it. I paid for it.
-
That's why this is mine. Alright, so that is I hope you
-
got that Revelation right there. Jesus bought us with the price
-
in the cross, so we belong to him.
-
Therefore, we were made slaves to righteousness.
-
Okay, so when you buy something, it is yours as long as you
-
bought it legally, okay? So it is yours.
-
Okay because you know, there are some people who are selling
-
things that are not theirs, you know, they sell things that were
-
stolen, okay, so when you buy something legally, it's yours.
-
So do you own something? You purchase?
-
Yes. Do you have the right to use
-
something? You bought?
-
Yes. The same thing with our
-
situation with Christ. Jesus bought us, he purchased
-
us. Therefore, we are his.
-
We Come to him he can use us. However, he wants to use us for
-
the glory of his father, right? So the point is, if you bought
-
something legally you own it, okay?
-
You own it and since the Lord Jesus Christ, Boris by his
-
blood, therefore, he owns us. He has the right to make to make
-
usually use of us for his greater glory.
-
And like I said earlier, Earlier that besides the purchase thing
-
idea, is that he created us. Okay, so that alone, I hope will
-
help us understand that we are not our own, okay, we don't we
-
just don't have 100%. You know, rights or rights to
-
live the way we want to live our lives, okay?
-
Because he bought us and we are his, we belong to him.
-
Alright, so I hope you got that Revelation, but another
-
scripture. Second Corinthians 5:15.
-
It says, he died for us. This is just a to confirm about
-
Jesus paying the price Bible says, first second Corinthians
-
15 says and he died for all that those who live should no longer
-
live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised
-
again. Okay, so now in Christ because
-
he died for us, we will no longer we should not sorry that
-
those who live should no longer live for themselves?
-
Not for ourselves, okay? But for the Lord for Jesus, who
-
died for us and, you know, the Lord who was raised again.
-
So that's second Corinthians 5:15.
-
Okay. So, I expounded that already,
-
but as you can see, you know, we're not inventing scripture or
-
we're not inventing revelation. Yes, but we are just actually
-
reiterating what the word of God says.
-
So, when we become Christians, we do not belong to ourselves
-
anymore. Okay?
-
Because he paid our debts. Therefore, he owns us and we owe
-
him our lives forever, okay? It is just right for us to serve
-
him, okay? Because we are indebted to him
-
forever, okay? We are truly his sleeves.
-
He bought us. He has the right to do whatever
-
he wants to do. He owns us.
-
All right. So, Peter 2:24 it says he
-
himself. Bore our sins in his body on the
-
cross so that we might die to sins, okay?
-
And live for righteousness by his wounds, you have been
-
healed, okay? So that again, so that we might
-
die to sins. So we died to our sins.
-
Actually, we did not die to our sins.
-
He died for us but because because we put our trust in him.
-
So we are what benefactors of what Jesus Paid for in the
-
cross. And that is why this
-
righteousness was imputed To Us by faith, alright?
-
So in this Life. We are going to have to serve
-
somebody. All right, either we leave for
-
sin or we live for righteousness.
-
Meaning, there are only two options for for, for people in
-
this planet, okay? Either serve the devil or
-
righteousness, okay? Or the righteous Lord.
-
Slaves have no, will of their own.
-
Remember they are literally in bondage to their masters When
-
sin is our Master. Well, I mean when, when we were
-
slaves to sin we are unable to resist sin, okay?
-
But in Christ, praise the Lord, You Know, by the power of the
-
Holy Spirit, okay? The Lord destroyed the Games
-
that killed us in bondage to the power of sin, okay?
-
So he freed us from sin and in the process of freeing us from
-
sin, okay? He bought us.
-
We were bought, we were purchased by his own blood and
-
that is why he owns US, okay? So, in summary summary, we are
-
all slaves. Let me read it to you.
-
The summer is this, we are all slaves, either.
-
A slave to sin or to righteousness.
-
But the question is whose slave are you?
-
Who is your master? Who do you obey?
-
Now we have two kinds of slavery, okay, as slavery that
-
in slaves, and slavery, that sets you free.
-
So now, you see, there's a difference before you were a
-
slave to sin. Now, you are a slave to
-
righteousness. Yes, but they have different
-
culture. Okay.
-
Two cultures if you belong to the first the slavery to sin, it
-
is a slavery that enslaves. But if you are in Christ right
-
now, that slavery is not actually what the world defines
-
a slavery because actually it is a slavery that sets you free.
-
What do we mean by that? It is okay again.
-
One is the slavery that takes away your freedom, okay?
-
But the other one, is what as slavery that gives you free will
-
now in Christ? Although you are a slave to
-
righteousness, you are a bond servant to serve Christ but
-
still the Lord do not force us. The Lord do not coerce us.
-
The Lord does not put pressure on us to serve him to follow
-
him. He wants you.
-
You to decide make the decision. You know, you have free.
-
Will you have volition? You can choose, you know, you
-
can choose whether to serve God or not in Christ.
-
So again, we were freed from sin to be a slave to righteousness.
-
But that is not a slavery that in slaves, but it is a slavery
-
that gives you free will, it is a slavery that sets you free,
-
okay? All right, so we are all a slave
-
to something or someone the question is, the question is not
-
whether we will be enslaved but what we will be slaves to.
-
Okay? So it depends on who your way to
-
serve. Okay, who you serve, we can
-
either be a slave to sin or be a slave to righteousness.
-
We are slaves either ways, okay. But Add whom to serve sin or
-
righteousness, the devil or Yeshua.
-
What was that? Okay, all right.
-
So again, friends, I'd like I would like to end this message
-
with this statement. Whatever you do, wherever you
-
go, remember, you are a slave to righteousness, again, whatever
-
you do. Wherever you go, always remember
-
that you are a slave to righteousness.
-
You were bought with a price in the cross, therefore, the Lord
-
Jesus Christ owns US. Okay, so friends it, this
-
Revelation is very important, okay?
-
This revelation of being a slave to righteousness is very
-
important. This is a revelation that will
-
help us that will keep us from sin.
-
It's like the fear of the Lord knowing that there is no such a
-
thing as complete Independence. From God, because first, he
-
created us second, he bought us with a price in the cross, in
-
our, in our site, on our side. Remember without Christ, we were
-
already doomed to destruction, we were already bound to die and
-
eternal death eternal, torment, Eternal punishment.
-
So, we were hopeless without Christ.
-
No salvation. But then Jesus died on the
-
cross. He paid the price.
-
And if we, if we surrender Our Lives to him to Jesus, then we
-
become a benefactor of what Jesus Paid for in the cross,
-
okay? So you will be set free from the
-
power of sin. And once you have been set free
-
from the power of sin, remember, because you were set free by the
-
blood of Jesus. He paid the price and in the
-
process of Jesus setting us free in the process of As you know
-
cleansing as forgiving us, you know with this when he when he
-
paid the price in the cross in that process we were purchased.
-
So he owns us now. We are no longer a slave in
-
slave to sin but now we have become his property and not
-
problem here. Yeah, we belong to him.
-
We become part of his family. Okay.
-
A family. The, it's a kingdom of love.
-
It's a kingdom of righteousness. That's why you see friends.
-
Righteousness is really important.
-
We have this. I know.
-
Do you have a need? Of course.
-
We all have a need every every day every week.
-
We have a need, you know, that might be healing or finances or
-
food or shelter or whatever that may be.
-
But I want you to know in Matthew 6:33 if I'm not
-
mistaken, it says seek ye first The kingdom of God, and his
-
righteousness righteousness, and his righteousness.
-
And all of these things will be added unto you.
-
So you see, our basic needs are provided.
-
They are met by who by the Lord, by the one, who purchased us,
-
okay? Because he loves us.
-
No, no, no. In the kingdom of darkness, you
-
know, in that Kingdom of Slavery to Sin.
-
There is no such thing as love, okay?
-
There is none, it's Darkness, it's evil, it's wickedness.
-
If you think the devil likes you, we'll take care of, you
-
know, he will torture you that he will kill you.
-
It's hard to describe. But okay, this is the summary,
-
the thief, the Devil comes. But to kill steal and destroy.
-
That is the main mission of Satan kill, steal and destroy.
-
So why stay in his kingdom? Who I remain in the slavery to
-
sin. Okay, get out of that family
-
tree. Get out of that group.
-
Okay, transfer from the kingdom of Darkness to the Kingdom of
-
Light. How is that?
-
You need to understand that we are all sinners.
-
For all have sinned. That's what the Bible says for
-
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, okay?
-
For all have sinned. So all of us are sinners and we
-
cannot pass God's standard of Holiness.
-
So we cannot enter Heaven. We will not be saved apart from
-
Christ. And that is why friends there is
-
a need for us to be delivered from the power of sin.
-
But you know what somebody died. Died.
-
Somebody paid for our sins. His name is Jesus.
-
That's why, although he is God he left his DT.
-
His godhood in heaven came on earth born from a virgin birth.
-
Okay, he became full man so that he can represent us on the
-
cross. All right, so he died in our
-
place, okay, no. He Not inherit the sin of man
-
because he had no biological or human father.
-
He was conceived by the holy spirit.
-
All right. So now when Jesus died on the
-
cross, he paid the price. All you need to do now is to
-
believe that Jesus Paid the price for you, he died.
-
He was Buried buried and on the third day, he rose back to life.
-
He was resurrected because death hell, cannot keep him.
-
In the grave, why? Because he is righteous.
-
He is sinless after he finished the transaction of paying the
-
price for our sins, because he was our sin offering, the
-
ultimate, the perfect sacrifice to pay our sins.
-
He wants our atoning sacrifice, you know what he rose from the
-
grave, so what you need to do right now.
-
If you want to give your life to Jesus, if you want to transfer
-
from the kingdom, the darkness to the kingdom of light and to
-
be set free from the power of sin in order for you to walk in
-
righteousness, to have the freedom of choice in the Kingdom
-
of God. In the Kingdom of love, you need
-
to give your life to Jesus. You need to repent from your
-
sins and believe in who Jesus is and in what he did in the cross
-
for you. So if that is your prayer today,
-
You want, you mean, you understand the understood from
-
this topic that we cannot live a holy life?
-
We cannot walk in righteousness unless we become Born Again
-
first. Okay, unless we repent from our
-
sins and put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord
-
and savior. Another verse can you please
-
plug it in Romans 10:9-10. Do we have it?
-
Okay, it says if you declare or if you confess with your mouth,
-
Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart, that God raised him
-
from the dead. You will be saved verse 10 for
-
it. Is with your heart that you
-
believe and are Justified. And it is with your mouth that
-
you profess your faith and are safe.
-
So, therefore, if you want to give your life to Jesus, please
-
pray, this prayer with me. Me.
-
Okay, say father in Heaven in the name of your son, Jesus
-
Christ. and by the power of the Holy Spirit, I pray, I believe
-
that Jesus died in the cross to pay for my sins and that he rose
-
from the dead on the third day. I confess that I am a sinner and
-
I cannot save myself. Forgive my sins and cleanse me
-
with the blood of Jesus. Jesus today, I entrust my life
-
to Jesus as my personal Lord and only savior.
-
This, I pray in Jesus name, amen.
-
Amen. Hallelujah.
