Slaves of God

“But now that you have been freed from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit that you have leads to sanctification, and its end is eternal life.” (ROM 6: 22)

“Slaves of God” are free from sin and as a benefit receive “eternal life.” Only God, who respects our dignity and freedom, “can lead us to sanctification” without humiliation. In this world only “slaves of God” are really free and full of dignity.

“I consider all thing so much rubbish that I may gain Christ and be found in him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
