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 & calls him. 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 bond¬age.

willing to admit they have one." -
Joyce Meyer.
Rom 6:6 (GNB): "And we know that our old being has been
put to death with Christ on his cross, in order that the power of the sinful
self might be destroyed, so that we should no longer be the slaves of
sin."
"If you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you are
free." - D.L. Moody.
