Slave of Christ [Galatians 1:10]

Gal 1:10 For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.

It was early morning on a Tuesday. About 3 o’clock in the morning. Myself and others were drudging through the woods in search of the house. The house they knew they were in. The Christians that is. Those followers of that “so-called” Jesus Son of God. What blasphemy. Through the mist of the morning, there it was. Old, rugged and barely standing. What was that noise? Singing? And Prayer? What do they see in this “Jesus”? Why can’t they just see He was a fake? We gathered around the house, 3 men at each side. 3-2-1… we rushed inside! Torches flying, swords drawn… we had them this time! We could see woman and children cower in the corners, weeping, fearing for their lives. But the men, oh those “Christian” men. They didn’t fight. No, they just held their heads in humility and let us take them away. You know what shocked me the most? What they said to their wives and children, “It’s ok, Jesus will take care of us.” Did they really believe that? Jesus would take care of us? And even though the women and children were still weeping, something in their eyes told me they believed it too. I have a duty though. It is my responsibility to get rid of all “Christians”. I can’t help, but wonder though, why did they believe what Jesus said? Why?
(Disclaimer- This is a fictional story written by me. It has not Biblical basis at all.)

Paul was a murderer Christians. One day he met Jesus. On the Damascus Road, Jesus changed his heart and Paul became one of the most influential men that Christianity has ever seen. His life went from one that seeks to please men to won that was sold out for God. He became a slave of Christ.

We have a lot of opportunities to please men on a daily basis. We can choose to do what they want us to do with total disregard for God. Why? Guys, if we are saved, we are slaves of God. We should not strive to please men, but God! A slave only lives to please his master. Let’s live to please ours.
