Who Will You Serve? (Romans 6:20-23)
Paul continues his argument that there are only two types of people -- those for whom sin is master and those for whom God is master. You will be a slave to one or the other. On the one hand, slavery to sin may yield temporary pleasure, but its fruit is full of shame and ultimately produces only death. On the other hand, slavery to God produces the fruit of the Spirit, sanctification, and ultimately eternal life. This is ours, as a free gift from God, and we who have received life are fools to return to the old master, sin, who can give us only shame and death.

Slaves to a New Master (Romans 6:15-19)
Obedience is not required in order to be saved, but the law teaches us how to live as those who are saved. Formerly we were slaves to sin, and now we have been made slaves to righteousness. We have a new master -- and our responsibility involves putting off sin, resisting the temptation to return to our former master; and gladly serving our new master. The freedom that we have in Christ is not freedom from having a master, but it is freedom from sin's mastery over us. Christ is now our Lord and master, and it is good to belong to him.

Galatians 5.1-6: Freedom
Freedom. What a word. It is tossed around much in these days. Many will exercise one of their rights that freedom brings in the coming days. But there is so much more to this word than what we experience in this country. Freedom. What a necessity. Do you know freedom? Do you enjoy it? This week Paul addresses this necessity in his letter to the Galatians.

Justice and Generosity for the City
Injustice and oppression in the covenant community dishonors God. Christ's ministry on our behalf frees us not only from guilt but the bondage of sin, particularly greed. He works in us that we might fear God and therefore become both just and generous. He works through us to free others from bondage through the gospel.
