Theologically, because of original sin, we are born slaves to sin. Our sinful nature puts us under the master of Satan with all his lies and deceptions. Let me be clear. To be a slave to someone or something means to serve and obey that person and or their agenda. To make matters even more severe, we don’t even realize that we are slaves to sin, Satan, and spiritual death.
In love and grace, God makes it possible for us to live in true freedom by faith in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. Let’s investigate this passage together and uncover the treasures we can apply to our lives to live in genuine freedom.
