Slave

The Hidden Truth About Your Identity in Christ

De: John F. MacArthur

Narrado por: John MacArthur

A COVER-UP OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS…

Centuries ago, English translators perpetrated a fraud in the New Testament, and it’s been purposely hidden and covered up ever since. Your own Bible is probably included in the cover-up!

In this book, John MacArthur unveils the essential and clarifying revelation that may be keeping you from a fulfilling—and correct—relationship with God. It’s powerful. It’s controversial. And with new eyes you’ll see the riches of your salvation in a radically new way.

What does it mean to be a Christian the way Jesus defined it? MacArthur says it all boils down to one word:

SLAVE

“We have been bought with a price. We belong to Christ. We are His own possession.”

Endorsements:

"Dr. John MacArthur is never afraid to tell the truth and in this book he does just that. The Christian's great privilege is to be the slave of Christ. Dr. MacArthur makes it clear that this is one of the Bible's most succinct ways of describing our discipleship. This is a powerful exposition of Scripture, a convincing corrective to shallow Christianity, a masterful work of pastoral encouragement...a devotional classic." ?Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

"John MacArthur expertly and lucidly explains that Jesus frees us from bondage into a royal slavery that we might be His possession. Those who would be His children must, paradoxically, be willing to be His slaves." ?Dr. R.C. Sproul

"Dr. John MacArthur's teaching on 'slavery' resonates in the deepest recesses of my 'inner-man.' As an African-American pastor, I have been there. That is why the thought of someone writing about slavery as being a 'God-send' was the most ludicrous, unconscionable thing that I could have ever imagined...until I read this book. Now I see that becoming a slave is a biblical command, completely redefining the idea of freedom in Christ. I don't want to simply be a 'follower' or even just a 'servant'...but a 'slave'." ?The Rev. Dr. Dallas H. Wilson, Jr., Vicar, St. John's Episcopal Chapel, Charleston, SC

Eye opening

This is a must study for those of Christ. Pray as you read for this will chance your thinking and your life.

Spectacular! A Must read!!

Understanding who we are as Christians was difficult until now. This brings to my life so much clarity and depth and height and width to the relationship we have as believers to our master and Lord Jesus Christ!

The whole truth!

This is an awesome book, read by John MacArthur. It agrees totally with scripture!

Are YOU a slave to Christ?

Would you listen to Slave again? Why?

ABSOLUTELY! This book opens your eyes to the truths that have been concealed through many translations.

very good book

uplifting challenging poignant will listen again for anyone wishing to solidify theyre faith beyond lip service

Slavery

A brand new concept for understanding what true slavery means as followers of Christ

Slave

Very good and informative book. I learned a lot about the history of slavery, how to be a good servant of God, and the history of persecution against true servants of God, because Christians are called to be good and faithful to our One true God.

What I expect from MacArthur

The basic premise of the book, that the word slave is somewhat mistranslated as servant is nothing new. But it does present a good background and explanation of what slave and slavery meant back in the day the bible was written.

The book also is used as a platform for MacArthur to make the case for Calvinism and it does present the case for the concept of Calvin’s TULIP very well and is backed up with appropriate bible verses etc. The argument for/against Calvinism is old and interesting and certainly one that Christians can have without coming to blows. I can appreciate this books presentation on the idea.

so much to think about!

This perspective is intriguing, and as always with John MacArthur, extremely thought-provoking. I believe it has helped ground my faith even more firmly. Dr MacArthur presents a broad, very humbling aspect of our relationship with Jesus; it is at the same time an empowering consolation that our toils and vicissitudes in this world are entirely in the plan of, and under the command of, our most perfect and loving Master. All we have to do is obey and He will handle the rest!
I highly recommend the book!

Our position as slaves

What a joy it is to be the slave to such a loving Master!
This books is an excellent exposition on our position as slaves and the meaning of Jesus’ Lordship over our lives.
The audible version is narrated by MacArthur (a plus).
