Are Christians Slaves or Sons of God? Titus 1:1–4, Part 2

Summary

This sermon explores the meaning of being a "slave of God" as described in Titus 1:1, drawing parallels with scripture like 1 Peter 2:16 and Romans 8. It contrasts this identity with being a "son of God" to address potential stumbling blocks in modern understanding of the term "slave." The practical takeaway is to embrace the identity of God's slave, not out of fear, but as a chosen dedication reflecting Christ's love and leading to sonship.
