True freedom begins when slavery to sin ends, and slavery to sin ends only when we have become the slaves of God. But ... we are not just the slaves of God. We are also His citizens, friends, and family members. All of this is possible because He chose us and called us to Himself, redeeming us from our slavery to sin and granting us eternal life through His Son.
-- John MacArthur (2010). Slave: The Hidden Truth About Your Identity in Christ (p. 142).
