What does the Bible say about slavery to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christians are to be slaves of Christ, willingly serving Him as their Master.

In Philippians 1:1, Paul identifies himself and Timothy as slaves of Christ Jesus, emphasizing that their identity and purpose are found in serving Him. This slavery is not a burden but a joyful submission to the loving authority of Christ, who has redeemed believers from the bondage of sin. Being a slave in this sense means that Christians are not their own; they are owned by Christ and are called to live for His glory and service. This relationship transforms the concept of slavery from one of oppression to one of joy and fulfillment in serving the God who loves them.
