For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
(Galatians 1:10)
I do Sis... I do... This is exactly what has transposed for me with this video and this is on the top of many other things pointing exactly to this truth which I have been fighting. You were the means to the end today for sure.
I like how he put it the master talking to the slave "what would you like to be fulfilled"? and they weren't asked "what do you think your purpose is?" Lol the best one "Can you dream your dreams so that I your master can fulfill it?"--how ridiculous and absurd when John gives us the true picture of our relationship with Christ.
Great video that reminds me that we are slaves to the greatest gentlest, most faithful, loving, kindest, patient Master who is superlative above all to his slaves...
Thanks for this. It has been a lost doctrine for too long. It is clear as crystal throughout all of Scripture. If this is not embraced in all of it's truth it is because it is hidden under a mountain of pride, unbelief, and stubbornness. It is the God-given grace of humility that makes this not just acceptable, but cherished, knowing the end of our salvation: eternal life in His presence for all of eternity, giving glory to His name as He is due. Listen to the last minute or so again and remember that you are more than a slave, but a son!!!!!
Christians today are in a battle, not of weapons, but of truth. Remember the words of the apostle Paul:
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
And do not forget the admonition of Jude:
Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. (Jude 1:3)
