Ephesians 6:5-9

Summary

Some skeptics try to argue the Bible supports the practice of slavery, but the reality is The Bible has a high regard for slaves. In the Old Testament, God proscribes humane treatment of slaves. The New Testament (NT), calls Christians to consider themselves slave, slaves to Christ. In the NT, slaves are treated as humans in God's image. Masters and slaves were both saved by grace. All Christians began calling themselves slaves of Christ. The most shocking point of all is that Jesus became a slave on our behalf. The Master submitted to the slaves and calls us to follow His lead.
