Freedom from Sin’s Bondage

THEN we have to inquire, Who are bound, and what is their bondage? The following verses will set us in the way of the correct answer: "They [the wicked Jews] answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man; how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 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 forever; but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." John 8:33-36. From these words we learn that sin is a bondage, and that it is from this bondage that Christ sets men free. To further show that sin is a bondage we need only to refer to Rom. 7:14 and 2 Peter 2:19, out of a multitude that might be quoted.
