What does it mean to be a slave of righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Being a slave of righteousness means yielding to God's will and living under His authority.

In Romans 6:18, Paul describes believers as slaves of righteousness after being made free from sin. This concept signifies a complete shift in servitude; rather than being led by sin, believers now yield themselves to God, allowing His righteousness to govern their actions and desires. This change is not just a change of behavior but a transformation of identity; believers are called to live out their new position as servants of God, which brings forth the fruit of holiness (Romans 6:22). In essence, being a slave to righteousness is embracing a lifestyle characterized by obedience to God and reflecting His glory.
