CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

? What does God think of slavery?

Exodus 21:16 “Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death.


? How does God See Slavery?
To take a person’s freedom and enslave them and sell them off as a commodity is wickedness. Are we seeing a sophisticated form of slavery in our world today?

Proverbs 29:1
Leads us to recognize that living in Rebellion to God means that person lives in danger that a Day will come when their sin can no longer be overlooked.
