       We will either be slaves of doing what our flesh wants. Or, we will be slaves of doing what we know is right, what is sound. And when we yield to the flesh, it compounds. It is a snowball effect. The snowball keeps getting bigger and bigger until we are in a real mess. When we yield to righteousness, it is a positive snowball effect. Righteousness leads to more righteousness, which leads to sanctification, ourselves becoming more and more like Christ. Verse 20: “For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:20-23, ESV).
