Romans 008: Romans Chapter 1 - Pauls Resume: Bondservant

Welcome To BARAH MINISTRIES

a Christian Church

 
 
1JO 2:4-6
The one who says, “I have come to know Him (the Lord Jesus Christ),” and does not keep His commandments (mandates), (he) is a liar, and the truth is not in him;//but whoever keeps His word, in him the (unconditional) love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in (union with) Him://the one who says he abides in (union with) Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

BOND SERVANT
The Greek word  is doulos…a slave…a person who is bound to the master for life…one who freely serves…a person owned by another person.
 
EXO 21:1
“Now these are the ordinances which you are to set before them…”
 
EXO 21:2
“If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years; but on the seventh he shall go out as a free man without payment.”
 
EXO 21:3
“If he (a slave) comes (into service) alone, he shall go out alone; if he is the husband of a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.”
 
EXO 21:4
“If his master gives him a wife, and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out alone.”
 
EXO 21:5
“But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not go out as a free man…’”
 
EXO 21:6 
“…then his master shall bring him to God, then he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he (the slave) shall serve him (the master) permanently.”
 
MAR 10:42
Calling them (the arguing apostles) to Himself, (the Lord) Jesus (Christ) said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.”
 
MAR 10:43
“But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant…”
 
MAR 10:44 
“…and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave (doulos) of all.”
 
MAR 10:45
“For even the Son of Man (the Lord Jesus Christ) did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
 
JOH 3:17
“For God (the Father) did not send (God) the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.”
 
BREAK
When I Think About Home
 
2CO 4:5
For we do not preach ourselves (as important) but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants (doulos) for Jesus’ sake.
 
1CO 9:14
So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.
 
1CO 9:18
What then is my reward (for proclaiming the gospel)? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel (to get my living from it).
 
1CO 9:19 
For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave (doulos) to all, so that I may win more.
 
GAL 1:10
For am I (Paul) now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant (doulos) of Christ.
 
TIT 1:1
Paul, a bond-servant (doulos) of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness…
 
TIT 1:2 
…in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago…
 
TIT 1:3 
…but at the proper time manifested, even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior…
 
TIT 1:4 
To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
