Slaves in this context ​​ means to be totally devoted to GOD; in fact all who are so fully committed could be described as prisoners of GOD by their own choice.​​ 

Romans 6:16-23 ​​​​ ‘Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient​​ slaves, you are​​ slaves​​ of the one you obey; whether you are​​ slaves​​ to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? ​​ But thanks be to GOD that, though you used to be​​ slaves​​ to sin, you have come to​​ obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. ​​ You have been set free from sin and have become​​ slaves​​ to righteousness.  ​​​​ (‘Slaves’ means to become ‘devoted’ to righteousness.) ​​ I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. ​​ Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in​​ slavery​​ to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in​​ slavery​​ to righteousness leading to holiness. ​​ When you were​​ slaves​​ to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. ​​ What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? ​​ Those things result in death. ​​ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become​​ slaves​​ to GOD, the benefit you reap leads to​​ holiness, and the result is eternal life. ​​ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of GOD is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.’  ​​​​ 

This means we have willingly and lovingly become dedicated to GOD.
