One of the most dangerous aspects of sin is the fact that it takes you captive. While you may feel like you are freely making the decisions that you want to make, that’s simply not the case. Several Scriptures (some of which we will discuss today) discuss the fact that sin is a brutal taskmaster that controls not only your behaviors, but also your thoughts, while also damaging your relationships with others. That’s why it’s so important that we find freedom from the sins that hold us captive.
John 8:34-36 (TPT)
“I speak eternal truth,” Jesus said. “When you sin you are not free. You’ve become a slave in bondage to your sin. And slaves have no permanent standing in a family, like a son does, for a son is a part of the family forever. So if the Son sets you free from sin, then you become a true son and be unquestionably free!”
