Christian freedom exists within the joyful boundaries of serving God.
Peter addresses a paradox: we are free, yet we are servants. This is not contradictory but complementary. True freedom is found in serving the right Master. When we serve God, we discover purpose, meaning, and liberation from lesser masters that would enslave us.
