Inhaltsangabe
This book is an exploration of 1 Peter 2:16 in which the author argues that, although Christians are by nature slaves to sin, they are set free through their faith in Jesus Christ and are then called to live as servants of God. The author examines the Christian's duty to use this freedom in the context of their relationship with God, their fellow man, and the powers and principles of evil. In doing so, the author exhorts believers to hold fast their faith in Christ, as the source of their freedom, and to walk in obedience to God's commands, recognizing that true liberty is found in serving Him.
