“For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God. Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called. Were you a bondservant when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men. So, brothers, in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God.”
1 Corinthians 7:19-24 ESV
All,This stands out because Paul says, “You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men.” To whom is your highest allegiance? Most of us would say God without even thinking, but are we ever tempted to disobey God in order to please another? Why? Are we a bond servant to anyone? If we can’t be obedient to God and please another, shouldn’t it be a easy choice to make? Please pray that we and our friends reflect on the price Jesus paid for us today. Please pray for a friend that is a unbeliever.
