To be redeemed is to be purchased by GodWho are you in Christ? When asked this question, most respond with terms like saved, a child of God, surrendered to Jesus, or just a Christian. While these are all good descriptors of our relationship with God, they are incomplete and misunderstood without the purchase of the soul called redemption. The apostles Jesus commissioned understood that they were slaves of Christ. They saw redemption as a literal purchase of their souls from the cruel master of sin.If the church is to rediscover the authenticity and power of the New Testament Church, then believers must rediscover the servant-slave identity that the apostles embraced. This identity redefines how to live in Christ and transforms believers' relationships with each other and with the organizations of His Church.This book will help the reader see the wonders of being enthralled with Jesus. A slave of Christ is purchased by an entirely benevolent master; a master who fully provides; a master who richly rewards those who diligently serve him; and a master who assumes responsibility for successes and failures alike.Discover how embracing the servant-slave nature douses the fires of division, relieves the burden of leadership, and empowers believers to catalyze the success of others. The servant-slave of Christ is the hope of the world. Read within to discover the freedom of living the life of a slave, love-bound to Jesus.
