Ye Became the Servants of Righteousness

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. (Romans 6:18)

A transaction took place when we were saved. We were slaves to sin. Now, the Lord broke that bond between us and sin—we are dead to sin—and now we are slaves to righteousness. We were purchased by the blood of Christ. Being His, we must present ourselves to this new Master and ask Him what His desire for us is: what we should do, what we should say. What course has He marked out for us? Then we should follow the course in faith.
