-The Chains You Cannot See
Reading: Romans 6:15-23; Jeremiah 17:9
The Jews in John 8 insisted they had never been enslaved, even while standing under Roman occupation and spiritual blindness.
This is the nature of sin's bondage.
It deceives its captives into believing they are free.
Romans 6 makes clear that every person serves a master, either sin leading to death or obedience leading to righteousness.
The unregenerate heart does not recognize its chains because those chains feel entirely natural.
Before Christ intervened in your life, your desires were corrupted by the fall.
Reflect today on what held you captive before the Lord set you free, and give him genuine thanks.
