slave by john mcarthur

slave i a book that clarifies how first century Christians thought of there relationship with Jesus. it expresses how we as Christians[and personally as Americans] we have distorted that relationship, to make Jesus and God liken to "a genie in a bottle" that we summon whenever we want some ting taken care of but yet as long as our own self-centered pride, ego, do-it-yourself mentality continues , we have not business to come plain.


now john does point out alot of theology that i myself agree with... like that we are in essence "property" of Jesus..agree! that once we ''fully'' submit, we die to our selves and sin, like paul stated, in romans 6:11 , we no longer have the right to decide what we do. you and i have been "slaves" our entire lives, lets be honest we love having a commanding factor in our lives... weather its.. money, athority, items, power, greed, lust, or any other charicteristic, or thing that "demands" our time, energy, and selves...we were built, designed, CREATED... to SERVE as SLAVES.... just depends on master.

john brings about another good point about the masters, of our lives..... we all know[ hopefully, and if not its okay, send me a comment and we can talk] that Jesus Bought us[this is where i part from john] not just predestined believers, but the world[john 3:16, didn't say some said all] but when he paid who did he pay????



got to read it....it will radically change your relationship with Christ, or Lord and MASTER



[the book SLAVE was written by john MacArthur and published by Thomas nelson inc. who in turn gave me an advanced copy for honest review, i have not been paid and have not guaranteed a good review}
