Slavery Metaphor
Sin is very attractive and lures us away from right living. But sin is
like a spider web. You get trapped in it. Drug addiction is a good model
of what sin is like. We become slaves of the sin. Christ came to set us
free. Christ paid the price. His death on the cross purchased our freedom.
All we need to do is accept it and walk away from the sin. Many people
never accept it. Even though Christ died for everyone, they stay with their
sin, obeying its orders. It is like the slave that won't leave the plantation
even though he is free. All we have to do is accept our freedom and leave
sin behind. (Galatians 4:1-5). (John 8:34)(Romans 6:6)(Romans 6:15-23)
