Whose Slave are You?

One might think that Bob Dylan read the book of Romans before he penned:

“You’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You’re gonna have to serve somebody.
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody.”

“Gonna Have to Serve Somebody” was the first track on Dylan’s Slow Train Coming album, released in August 1979. A couple of years before Dylan however, the Apostle Paul wrote to believers in Rome:

“But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” – Romans 6:17-18

So, as you read this, whose slave are you?
