No More A Servant

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son: and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:7

Most people have the wrong view of Christianity. Many view Christianity as servanthood to God. Christ didn't come to enslave us, but to set us free! We were redeemed, our freedom purchased by blood, and we've been made equal heirs with Christ Himself. Christ came to give us a promotion! It's not wrong to have a servant's heart--to be humble and wanting to help others and put others first. Christians ought to live by that philosophy. But we need to stop thinking of ourselves as servants and realize that we are sons and daughters. A servant's heart is one thing; a servant's mindset is another. We are known and loved and cherished and important and valued by God, because we are no longer His servants, but His children. We are royalty!
