We prefer the bondage of sin even though it has long since been abolished

Not calling upon God’s redemption from the bondage of sin is like living as a slave because you do not know that slavery has been abolished.

The devil has conquered the world for himself through sin, deception, and because we all sin, we live under his power, we are slaves to the devil, and according to Scripture, we fulfill his lusts, which are nothing but sin:

“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44 NASB).

The devil has a great kingdom of servants who do not even know or recognize it. God abolished this bondage by taking away the sin of the world through the blood of the Lord Jesus. Sin has been punished. Christ paid in our place:

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8 NASB).

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23 NASB).

However, most people live in the bondage of sin and listen to the devil every day, but they think they are independent, smart. Why so? Because I don’t know these things. They have no basic spiritual knowledge. They do not bother to open the Bible. Some haven’t even read it once. By the way, I recommend, for initiation into spiritual truths, the series of shows THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH.

It seems to people that it is a pleasure to live as they live, but they are also the most unhappy. Take sex before marriage, for example. The Bible clearly states that it is a serious sin called fornication. And how many people suffer because they have no love, because they have been hurt in love, abandoned, used? Or how many end up unable to have children?

Some time ago I had some tests done at a private clinic. In half an hour there I shuddered to see the statistics with my own eyes. Most of the women came out crying. Severe, painful problems related to pregnancy or fertility. And they didn’t understand WHY? Why does God send such a thing? I don’t think anyone has even thought about the sin of fornication, but that may be a cause. Some do not even know that this is a sin, because most people live that way. I’m not saying this is the cause for all situations. But for the statistics in our country, I am sure that sexual sins are the root cause. And medicine can evolve year after year, but  the statistics will go from bad to worse. This is the reality we have been living in for years, until we repent and turn our face to God, until we open His Word, the Bible.

By the way, it’s not expensive. Buy it and start reading it, studying it. Download the app on your phone and start reading it. There are several free apps that you can download. About the redemption from the bondage market of sin, where we sell ourselves, I recommend the RUTH inductive Bible study course.
