(James 1:1 NKJV) James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.
This is what the book of James starts off with. I read this and thought, wow…”a bondservant of God”? And then I thought… “hmm, what is a bondservant?”
This is what the Webster dictionary gives for a definition for bondservant: one bound to service without wages; also : slave.
James was a slave to Christ!! This caused me to stop and ponder on my walk with Christ and where I’m at. How much of me do I give to God? How much of my time do I give to Him? Am I be willing to be a bondservant for Christ?
It makes you realize how serious James was about His walk with the Lord. It makes you see how strong his love was for the Lord. A slave does everything their master tells them to do.
Where are we at in our walk with Christ? Are we willing to be a bond servant for Him today?
