You

Are A Slave

To Whatever Controls You.

Scripture

2 Peter 2

19b … “For you are a slave to whatever controls you.”

Observation

I told someone last night that “sin” is pleasurable for the moment. Once that sin grabs you then you become a slave to it. Pornography, gambling, sexual addiction, drugs, and alcohol all become the “master” over the sinner and the end result is destruction. 

16 Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. Romans 6:16

I was on the road to self-destruction once. I remember that I was a slave to sin. At that time in my life someone shared with me that God had a plan for my life. He shared with me that Jesus Christ died on a cross to set me free from the life of sin that I was living. 

I was 19 years old when I turned from sin and self and I turned to God. I decided to become a slave of Christ. I decided to obey Him. 

It was the best decision that I have ever made in my life. 

It is our choice. A life of self-destruction or an abundant life filled with meaning and purpose, a life of slavery to sin or slavery to the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Application

I will continue to share with those I meet that Jesus Christ is the answer. He can set them free!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray the person that I talked to last night. He needs to be set free from the bondage of sin. Help him make the right decision. I pray for him. Give him the spiritual understanding to see the Truth. Open his heart to spiritual things. I pray for his salvation. I pray that he turns from sin and self and that he turns to You.
