But what he offers to us is not a life of slavery or service, but membership in the family of God. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%206:6-7&version=NIV 2009-09-20T17:07:38-05:00 Before Christ offered us forgiveness, we were slaves to sin--we had no power to resist its urges or commands.
