Life is not fair. Most of the slaves in the Roman world of Paul's day were born that way. It is not as though they committed crime or accumulated massive amounts of debt and ended up as slaves by consequence of their own foolishness. This was according to god's law.

00:00:00 All right, listen guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and
00:00:09 admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and
00:00:22 effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38 Thank you so much.
00:00:39 God bless.
00:00:41 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52 Life is not fair.
00:00:55 Most of the slaves in the Roman world of Paul's day
00:00:57 were born that way it is not as though they committed a crime or accumulated massive amounts
00:01:03 of debt and ended up as slaves by consequence of their own foolishness this was according to god's
00:01:10 law the result in israel if someone was a slave in israel it was because of their sin
00:01:16 if israel was in fact obeying and following god's law but if someone was a slave in the african
00:01:23 slave trade or at rome it very likely was because not of their own foolishness not because of their
00:01:29 own sin but the sin of someone else who was mistreating who committed great acts of injustice
00:01:36 who was oppressing them and that's not the slavery that god permitted many of the slaves at rome
00:01:42 were not slaves due to their own foolishness but rather due to the injustice and sin of others
00:01:48 due to sin entering the world life is grossly unfair and the bible never pretends as if it
00:01:54 were anything otherwise see the good news of the gospel brings hope to those in despair
00:01:59 through faith in jesus these downtrodden slaves oppressed and mistreated they instantly became
00:02:06 beloved members of the body of christ with equal status to their masters in the sight of god and
00:02:12 they became co-heirs of the glorious hope of eternal life and yet these slaves were not
00:02:18 instantly liberated from their physical slavery the moment that they believed in jesus so in our
00:02:24 text paul commands slaves to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that for the
00:02:32 very reason that the name of god and the teaching that is christian doctrine may not be reviled
00:02:40 These words remind us that there is something greater.
00:02:43 Even for us who truly are victims, who truly are being mistreated,
00:02:48 there is still something greater at stake than our own personal rights and happiness.
00:02:54 How we choose to behave in the midst of unjust treatment bears witness to the God we serve
00:02:59 and the teachings he has called us to model.
00:03:02 Thanks so much for listening.
00:03:03 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment,
00:03:07 and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show.
00:03:10 This is undoubtedly the best way
00:03:13 that you can help us get this biblically faithful content
00:03:16 to as many people as possible.
00:03:18 Thanks so much.
