John F. MacArthur Jr. Quote
With his work of redemption Christ has made believers his own possession and now gives them the goals that shape their lives. This new commitment, which is a commitment to righteousness (Rom. 6:19), holiness (1 Thess. 3:13), and newness of life (Rom. 6:4), finds expression in the description of Christians as Christ’s doúloi [slaves] (1 Cor. 7:22; Eph. 6:6).13 Slaves of Christ are to be always abounding in the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:58), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord (Eph. 5:10), and ever seeking to understand what the will of the Lord is (Eph. 5:17).
