We are slaves whom we obey. We obey the Lord because we love Him. Jesus is our example. John 15:10 says, “…just as I have kept My Father’s commandment and abide in His love.”

Exodus 21:5. Context is a Hebrew servant that was given their freedom. It says, “But if the servant plainly says, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free.” We are free to sin, however, out of love we obey from the heart.

How is your heart? The Holy Spirit gave me seven ebooks in 2016 about the heart. It became the paperback “Victorious Heart.” What pictures are on the walls of your heart? Chapter two is entitled “Heart Interior Decorating.” The pictures in our heart dictate our words and our actions. It might be time to take down some of those time honored offenses that have enslaved us.
