Everyone is born with a sinful nature, and we’re all slaves to sin until that bondage gets broken by faith in the Savior. But even after salvation, Jesus is continually setting us free from things that entrap us, hindering our relationship with Him. He delivers us: • From error: The Word of God protects us from the misconceptions and lies that Satan and his world system use to bombard us. • From evil deeds: God’s indwelling Spirit empowers us to resist temptation and live a righteous lifestyle. • From emotional bondage: The Lord does not want us to be controlled by fear, guilt, jealousy, bitterness, unforgiveness, or inadequacy, which steal the peace and joy Christ promised. When we learn to trust Him in every situation, He’ll set us free from these negative emotions. Many Christians live in bondage with-out realizing it. They know something is wrong but can’t straighten out their lives. Despite all their efforts to “be better,” they keep failing. No prisoner has the key to unlock the door, but Jesus is standing outside the cell, calling, “Trust Me, and I will set you free!”
