Slavery is a most horrible, dehumanizing invention by people who did not believe in the value of every human being. We are horrified at how domesticated animals like the ox, the donkey, or the horse are made to work so hard, and yet humans sometimes have been treated worse than these animals of burden.
There is another slavery that is even worse and more deadly, the slavery to sin. Those who are addicted to a substance abuse know that their dependence leads them to lose the ability to make good decisions, and have caused them to harm their bodies, their minds, and their relationship with other people.
The good news is that God offers us to give us one of the most wonderful gifts we can enjoy – liberty from sin. Paul wrote, "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV)
Accept His free gift of liberty from sin and begin to enjoy the freedom He offers.
