Where are you looking ????

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (NIV)

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. (KJV)

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. "The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever." So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. (NASB)

Sin has a way of enslaving us, controlling us, dominating us and dictating our actions. Jesus can free you from this slavery that keeps you from becoming the person God created you to be. If sin is restraining, mastering or enslving you. Jesus can break it's power over you.

I think what it's saying right here is not physical slavery but a slavery to sin, bound up in bondage that only our JESUS CHRIST can break us free from. People will die in their sins if they reject Christ, because they are rejecting the only way to be rescued from sin. Sadly, many are so taken up with the values of this world that they are blind to the priceless gift Christ offers. Don't be enslaved to sin, give your life over to Christ today.

Where are you looking?

Don't focus on this worlds values and miss what is most valuble----ETERNAL LIFE WITH GOD.

Free in him with a Purpose in Life,
Lisa
