July 31, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • 1 Timothy 6:11–20

What About Slavery? // 1 Timothy 6:1-12

July 17, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • 1 Timothy 6:1–2

In order to understand Paul’s instructions to slaves can be a difficult passage to read through without understanding its context and purpose. However, God’s Word has made the separation between indentured servanthood and kidnapping (Antebellum slavery) clear. Servanthood was a means of providing for the poor, and ensured the well-being of both parties involved. However, the stealing of people in to forced labor has always been prohibited (Exodus 21:16). With this framework in mind, Paul’s words become clear and point us to the gospel.
