Slaves To Sin, Or Do You Have Your Freedom From Sin?

As we focus on Memorial Day here in America, we recognize all of our Fallen Soldiers. The country we are today is because of our belief in God and our brave men and women who serve in our military. We have the freedoms we have which came at a very high cost in human lives. Freedom has never come free and never will come free. I want to say thank you to all of the families who have had sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers who have given their time and some their lives to keep us free.

Even though we live in America and think we are totally free, we really aren't because we are slaves. You are probably saying "no we're not", but that isn't what the Bible says.
John; 8:34
(Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I say to You, whoever commits sin is a slave to sin.)
So you see we are all born slaves and some of us still are. God tells us we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. So being sinners, we are also a slave to sin. Maybe you don't think that being a slave to sin is so bad, but there are consequences of our sins.
Romans;6:23
(For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.)
Unforgiven sin will bring you eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire. So what do we do because of our sin?

Jesus Christ has paid the price for us by giving His life in place of ours. He came down from Heaven and died on the cross to be the sacrificial lamb. Without the shedding of his blood, there would not have been forgiveness of sins. So you would not have had the opportunity to gain your freedom from sin. Now you can come to Jesus for forgiveness and be set free from the bondage of sin. There is no other way to be totally free without his forgiveness.
John; 8:36
(Therefore if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.)

Have you been set free? If not, come to Jesus today and be set free from sin. There is no other way. You can not do it by works or any other good deed. God gave his all for you, tell Him you love him and thank Him for your freedom.

God Bless You!

You are a right-wing nutjob. No wonder your party is losing relevance. And quit worshipping the Bible...it's a book. I love people like you who think you have all the answers...what kind of God has a majority of Earth not believe in Jesus? According to you, they all are going to hell...Keep telling yourself that, buddy. Whatever makes you sleep at night.
