1 Corinthians 7:22
1 Corinthians 7:22
For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
To be both free and a servant is a profound concept, blending liberty with humility. True freedom does not lead to selfishness but inspires us to serve with joy, knowing that our value is not diminished by humility but strengthened by it. Embracing our identity as both liberated and called to serve allows us to live with a heart open to others, using our freedom as a gift that blesses rather than burdens. Each act of service becomes a testament to our commitment to a life of purpose, one that values compassion and community over personal gain. This dual identity is a reminder that greatness is found not in dominance but in dedication, not in power but in love. By living as both free and a servant, we show others that liberty is best expressed through acts of kindness, creating a legacy of grace and generosity.
Romans 8:21
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Galatians 4:7
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
1 Peter 2:16
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
