The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as shown in 1Corinthians 7:21; the renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

In our last visit to 1Corinthians 7 in verse 19 we found out that those of GOD's humanity known as Jews could not keep the Law to justify them and that therefore circumcision did them No good. Well lets see what comes next, shall we?


1Corinthians 7:21-24 "Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. Brethren[G80], let every man, wherein he is called[G2564], therein abide with[G3844] God." (KJV)

1Corinthians 7:21-24 "Were you a bondservant when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men. So, brothers[G80], in whatever condition each was called[G2564], there let him remain with[G3844] God." (ESV)

1Corinthians 7:21-24 "Even if you were the lowest ranked slave before, it makes no difference to the dignity of your true identity. I am not saying that you should not go for promotion; by all means take it if it comes your way. The point that i am making is that in Christ you are equally free, whether you are a slave or free in society, a boss or an employee. Society might label you as a slave, but Christ reveals how free you really are. Then again you might be a so called, "free person" in society but in Christ you are a bond slave! You are not for sale! The ransom GOD has paid for your freedom now binds you to the lordship of his Love. The sign over life says, SOLD! (You are not for sale to the religious systems of the Law or the world of works and performance based approval.) We all belong to the same [1, G80]household and householder. Every individual originates from GOD and is [2, G2564]surnamed in him; this is our true lineage, [3,G3844]abide herein without compromise. ([1, G80, the Hebrew of H1] Brothers, adelphos, meaning from the same womb. The word, [2G2564] kaleo, means to surname, and [3] para, is preposition indicating close proximity, a thing proceeding form a sphere of influence, with a suggestion of union of place of residence, to have sprung from its author and giver, originating from, denoting the point from which an action originates, intimate connection.) (The Mirror)

Well now we know what was not known before that we are of our original parent and not a foster one held to the foster as a slave to sin and his death. Until next time, the LORD willing. I bid you and yours long life in the LORD.
