Slave To Sin

John 8:32-36 – Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Romans 6:18 – You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

Application:

  • ·         Everyone who sins is a slave to sin because sinners cannot break free by their own strength.
  • ·         Christians have changed masters. Whereas they were formerly slaves to sin, now they become slaves to righteousness.
  • ·         “Free” means freedom from sin, not from ignorance.
