God has touched every area of my life and redeemed it to Himself. Without God, my life would be so different. Then I remember my state before Christ and what I would be like before Him and I understand that without God’s grace I would be tied up in so much sin. Since I have been a Christian for such a long time, I have a hard time understanding why people are so bound to sin. They forgot what life was like as a slave and so they had no appreciation for their current citation. But soon, those cries turned to complaints.

When the Israelites were free to leave Egypt, they were so happy and thankful. Why do we need to remember where we were?

Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

1 Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought with a price.

Romans 5:8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

The bible is very clear that the price due for sin is death and that Jesus paid that price for us: The only way out is for someone to come and buy us out. Meaning that sin ruled our lives, our action, our future, and so on and that we could not get ourselves out from under sin.

Meaning that their owner has the authority over them.īeing slaves to sin means that we were once owned to sin. Slaves are not their own and are sold over to something or someone. Living in North America today makes it hard for us to understand the idea of slavery.Įven though slavery is still prevalent all over the world because we don’t see it every day, it’s hard for us to understand.īut the idea of slavery is pretty simple. We are either slaves to sin or we are bondservants of God. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy. Previously, you let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. 19 Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. 18 Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living. Romans 6:17-19 Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. In this day and age, we are not slaves in Egypt but God reminds us we were once slaves to sin. This truth is shown to us with the true story and events about the people of Israel.ĭeuteronomy 5:15 And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

I have been a Christian for many years and so it’s easy for me to forget that I was once a slave to sin.īut the bible is clear, before being in Christ, we were slaves. The second set of bible verses about remembering focuses us on remembering our bondage to sin.

Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began.

A God of faithfulness and without iniquity just and upright is he.

Deuteronomy 32:4 “The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice.

God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

1 John 4:16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.

Those verses are way too many to put in this post, but I wanted to just pick 3 to get us started on knowing who God is. There are many verses in the bible that describe God so we can start having a picture of who He is. The 2 previous verses tell us to remember God and to think about Him but aren’t too specific about who God is. What this verse means to me is that I should train my brain to think about God at night and not all the other things my mind is fantastic about thinking about. The night is when my mind takes off and sometimes gets caught up in all the things in my life.īut, this verse encourages me to turn my mind to God. I don’t know about you, but I have so much trouble falling asleep. This verse tells us we are to remember God at night. Psalm 119:55 I remember your name in the night, O Lord, and keep your law. In my study: Who am I? Discover who you are in Christ– I describe 7 of the things we get or become when we come to know Jesus as our Lord and saviour.Īccepting salvation is just the start of all the benefits we get from God and we are to remember all the benefits we have. This verse tells us to not forget all the benefits of God. Psalm 103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, The first set of bible verses about remembering focuses us on remembering who God is.
