'The Slave Trade' - John 8:33-34

"But we are descendants of Abraham," [the Jews] said. "We have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean, 'You will be set free'?"
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin."


—John 8:33-34 NLT

Key Thought​

Sin captures us. Sin enslaves us. Sin abuses us. Sin brings us to death. When sin infects us and takes root, it becomes addictive and destructive. If we are going to enjoy the freedom the Lord longs to give us, then we must also commit to live for him and turn away from sin. We can, by the Spirit's power, put to death the power of sin, but we must also make it our commitment to leave it behind!

Today's Prayer​

Father, God of grace and power, please deliver me from the sin that entangles me and keeps me from being all that you have made me to be. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

I do not want to be slave to anyone at all. Sin and evil certainly will make us all slaves to sin. Deliver us from this bondage we pray. Amen

 

[Rizakar]

Thank the Lord we have been washed in the blood of Jesus and set free from sin and death in Christ Holy Name. Glory to God!!

 

[CherishOthers]

Satan wants us all to be slave to him and to sin so we will end up in hells burning fire. Do not let him do this to you or to anyone else. Come to Jesus, put on the armor of God and He will deliver you from the devils squemes.
