Romans 6:20-23

As Christians we do well with our past being forgiven and our future of eternal life being secured in our faith in Christ. But, we tend to neglect our present calling to be sanctified.  Being sanctified doesn't mean being perfect, but it is defined as the process of being perfected or becoming holy.  We, as believers, have been freed from sin and enslaved to God.  We are not freed from sin for self; rather we have been freed from sin for the Savior.  Are we living as slaves of sin or are we living as slaves of God?
