Are You a Slave to Sin | Was Paul Worst of Sinners | Once Saved Always Saved | Eternal Security

http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/eternal-security.htm

Once saved always saved teaching says that the Apostle Paul was the worst of sinners and a slave to sin based on a misuse of Romans 7. That is NOT true. Do not be deceived.

The Christian is free, but at the same time, he is Christ's slave (1 Cor. 7:22) and a slave to righteousness (Rom. 6:18) not a slave to sin! As freed people, we are to be living for Jesus and his cause (2 Cor. 5:15). In fact, service to God is an immediate responsibility after turning from our idols that kept us in spiritual darkness and death (1 Thess. 1:9 cf. Jonah 2:8).

With these verses in mind, how could the real freedom in Christ message, coupled with the true grace message, added to the proper interpretation of Romans 7, dismiss lukewarm, unholy, worldly, entertainment-seeking, amusement-seeking, pleasure-seeking "servants" who have very little or no fear of God as normal?
