- Just as the slave must “will” the will of his master, our usefulness to Jesus depends on the extent to which we will the will of God. We are not robots. Rather, in love we choose to return to the position of obedient dependence on God in which He created us. This may seem an unpleasant idea to some, but as God’s creatures this “slaveness” is the only place of joy and the only place of usefulness.
