text: what are good bible verses about slavery? i need bible verses abut being a slave for christ. what is a bond slave?, how is slavery used to picture our right relationship to christ?  please help i guess the easiest illustration and application about slavery would be the fact that, because of the sin of adam, and we being his offspring, we are born into the "slavery" of sin.  however, since jesus was our ransom, he "purchased" us with his blood, so those who put faith in him (heb 11:6), learn about him and his father (john 17:3) and are baptized in accordance with true knowledge, and not just on a whim (eph 4:5), we become his slaves.
