2 Timothy 2:26

This passage is talking about salvation. They may possibly be saved by God. Specifically, they are ensnared by the devil. God can save people from that. They have been captured to do the will of the devil. What's interesting is this idea of slavery. People think of slavery and think of it as a bad thing. It certainly can be a bad thing and the slavery that typically happens in the world is evil. However, slavery isn't a bad thing if you have a good master. Paul refers to himself as a bond-servant of Christ. When God saves people from slavery from Satan, they in a sense become slaves of the Lord. It's interesting and it's good because the Lord is a good master.
