How to be Free

Today's Verse is Romans 6:16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Last night I watched a movie, in which, the premise of the bad guys was that to be free one had to commit a crime, in this case a murder. We see here that God through Paul has already destroyed the logic of this arugement. We can either be servants of sin, which is our natural state; or we can through Jesus Christ and by Him we can be free from sin and servants of righteousness. The premise that to be free one has to be evil is in error, for it assumes that we are basically good, but "all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags," and that is in our best state. However, though Christ we have been freed and now we have the ability to choose whom we shall serve. Amen.
