Slave

The Hidden Truth About Your Identity in Christ

De: John MacArthur

Narrado por: John MacArthur

Best-selling author and pastor Dr. John MacArthur reveals one crucial word that revolutionizes what it means to follow Jesus.

Throughout the Bible, followers of Jesus are commanded to submit to Him as their King. They are told to obey and follow, faithfully and without hesitation. Every time Christians utter the word Lord, they make a subtle yet profound declaration - that God is their Master and that they belong to Him. In fact, the Bible describes believers as His slaves. They have been bought with a price and now live for Christ as a people for His own possession.

But go into most churches today, even flip through most Bible translations, and you won’t see or hear the word slave anywhere. That’s because it has been lost in translation. In this gripping book, Dr. John MacArthur uses deep Bible teaching and historical evaluation to expertly uncover the one forgotten word that restores the Bible’s definition of true Christian freedom.

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!
