bondage of sin unto death to liberty
and life in Christ Jesus. He is called
disciple because he is a convert and
adherent TO the teachings Of Jesus
Jesus likened the disciple unto a
branch Of vine to illustrate the init
mate relationship which existed be-
tween Himself, Who was declared to be
the vine, and His followers, and again
He called His disciples friends, to as
sure them Of the cordial and pleasant
Intimacy which existed between them
and their Master. He also called them
the sheep and pointed to Himself as
the Good Shepherd to impress them
with the thought of His tender care
for them, His leadership. and His pro-
lection from every enemy. In the epis-
ties we meet repeatedly with the ex-
pressions sons of Cod and children
Of God" and are taught that those who
have been saved through the cleansing
power Of Jesus blood hold a peculiar
and vital relationship with God. In
the truest sense God Is their Father,
and because sons Of God, they are
sheirs and joint heirs with Christ to
all the riches of the Fathers house
The term tsbond-seryant, or slave. Is
also used, which conveys forcibly the
truth that the Christian is bought
with price, and that he no longer has
a right to think of himself as apart
from his Lord, or as doing anything
Independent of His will. '<Ye are not
your own, ye are bought with price,
is the plain declaration Of Scripture.
and IL this Is true, then bond slaves"
