Read Romans 6:16
"Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as
slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin,
which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?"
NIV
"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" KJV
Being a slave to sin is the same as being captivated by it. When we are
captivated by something or someone, we are
held to it by attraction, attention, or interest. If we allow our captivation to continue, we become slaves to it.
If we become captivated by the
things of this world, we will be in sin and will reap the consequences of sin.
If we become captivated by Christ, we will produce the fruit and likeness of
Christ.
Heavenly Father,
help us to discern what we follow as truth and show us if we are captives of
anything or anyone other than You. Show us the way so that we will not offend
You with our sinful natures. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
