Romans 6:16

Ignite IBS
Romans 6:16
Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?

What are we slaves to? That's a question that no one wants to be asked. It's also a subject that people (including myself) hate to even think about. We are slaves to the things we obey. Pornography, alchohol, drugs, ciggaretes; all of those things are so easy to become slaves to. Being a slave to those just results in death. But if we turn our eyes to God, giving those things to Him, because we can't take those on by ourselves, that's when we truly become free. It's cool to me that to become truly free, you have to fully surrender to the One who made you.

Application.
I'm going to look at the places in the Bible where it talks about obeying God.
