Bond-slaves of the Messiah

What does it mean to be a bond-slave of Yeshua? Both the TaNaK (Torah, Prophets and Writings) and the Apostolic Scriptures tell us repeatedly that we are called to be bond-slaves to God and to His Messiah, Yeshua. In this discussion, we learn a little bit about how to do this and why we should make it our life’s goal to be a bond-slave to Yeshua. The process of being Yeshua’s bond-slave even carries over into our roles during the Millennium reign of Christ and beyond.

Thought Questions

What is the Hebrew word for bond-slave (ebed, Strong’s lexicon No. H5650)? How is the ebed the “mark of those called by God”?

Does Yeshua ask us to do anything He hasn’t done? ?Is Yeshua a bond-slave (Isa. 42:1)?

What is the Greek word for bond-slave (doulos, Strong’s G1401) (2 Pet. 1:1; Rom. 1:1; Titus 1:1; Phil. 1:1; Jude 1:1; Rev. 1:1; Luke 1:38)? Why did the apostles call themselves the bond-slaves of Yeshua?

What is the law of bond-slavery in the Torah (Deut. 15:12-18)? What is the definition in the New Testament (2 Pet. 2:18-20)?

How many “masters” can we serve? Who is the better master? Do we remain as bond-slaves if we commit ourselves to Yeshua? Where does He take us? When and how will this process of becoming sons and fellow heirs with Messiah takes place?
