What does being a 'slave of Jesus Christ' mean?

Answered in 1 source

Being a 'slave of Jesus Christ' means complete submission and devotion to Him, recognizing His authority over all aspects of life.

When Jude identifies himself as a 'slave of Jesus Christ,' he highlights the total ownership and allegiance one has to the Lord. This designation signifies that his life, desires, thoughts, and actions are now governed by Jesus. Unlike modern connotations of servanthood, slavery here implies a deep relational and covenantal bond where one is wholly devoted to serving and honoring Christ. Understanding ourselves as Christ's slaves invites us into a life where we find purpose and meaning in submission to His will, which is ultimately for our good and His glory.
