Freedom VS Slavery


To start with, here are some Bible verses to think about.
Bible verse on it- 
Freedom: 
1 Corinthians 7:22 (NIV)" For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave."-refers to spiritual & natural freeman.   

Slavery: 
Leviticus 19:20(KJV) 
" And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free."


Definition of each one- 
Freedom from Merriam-Webster Dictionary: 
1 :the quality or state of being free: such as  
a :the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action  
b :liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another :independence  
c :the quality or state of being exempt or released usually from something onerous  
  • freedom from care 
d :ease, facility  
  • spoke the language with freedom 
e :the quality of being frank, open, or outspoken  
  • answered with freedom 
f :improper familiarity  
g :boldness of conception or execution  
h :unrestricted use 
2 a :a political right  


Slavery from Merriam-Webster Dictionary: 
1 :drudgery, toil  
2 :submission to a dominating influence  
3 a :the state of a person who is a chattel of another  
b :the practice of slaveholding  


Now ask yourself which one do you live by? Are you living like a slave or walking in freedom?
