BE FREED FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN & ADDICTION
Have you ever reached that point in your life where you developed such hate for sin that you want to ask the Lord Jesus to take your life, or maybe you are struggling with an addiction, maybe you have some habit that no one knows about? You don’t want to do it but you keep on doing it and for the first time in your life you realize where you are going to end up one day.
The following Bible verses powerfully explains the need to be saved, born-again and set free.
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I say to you, that everyone that practices sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever. 36 Therefore if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.
Galatians 5:19 The wrong things the sinful self does are clear: committing sexual sin, being morally bad, doing all kinds of shameful things, 20 worshiping false gods, taking part in witchcraft, hating people, causing trouble, being jealous, angry or selfish, causing people to argue and divide into separate groups, 21 being filled with envy, getting drunk, having wild parties, and doing other things like this. I warn you now as I warned you before: The people who do these things will not have a part in God's kingdom.
Romans 6:1 What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?2 In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?3 Or are you without the knowledge that all we who had baptism into Christ Jesus, had baptism into his death?4 We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.
Romans 8:7 Why is this true? Because anyone whose thinking is controlled by their sinful self is against God. They refuse to obey God's law. And really they are not able to obey it. 8 Those who are ruled by their sinful selves cannot please God.9 But you are not ruled by your sinful selves. You are ruled by the Spirit, if that Spirit of God really lives in you. But whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Christ.
1John 3:24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us
1John 2:3 Now by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.4 He who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.6 He who claims to abide in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.6 Everyone who abides in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him nor has he known Him.7 Little children, let no one deceive you. The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.8 He who practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God appeared, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
