One reason many have never realized their bondage to sin may seem very paradoxical, but it is, nevertheless, very true. It is because they have never tried to get free.
There is a yard where a dog is heavily chained. The dog, however, is fast asleep & so he does not realize his bondage. Later on we may even notice the dog eating his food, still chained, but as the food is close to the kennel his chain is not irksome & he is thus still unconscious of his bondage.
But soon comes the owner of the dog, who, forgetting the chain, calls the dog. The animal springs up, eager to reach his master. What happens then? All his efforts are vain, & now for the first time he feels the irksomeness & restraint of his fetters.
It is exactly similar with sin. Try to get free & you feel your bondage. - Dr.W.H. Griffith Thomas.
“The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.” - Billy Graham.
“If you want to be free, just start doing what God wants you to do, one step at a time & you'll eventually walk out of your messes.” - Joyce Meyer.
John 8:36: “If the Son sets you free, then you will be really free.”
