So why do i still act like a slave? If the word says i have been set free from the bondage of sin (no longer a slave to sin) and have now been made a slave to righteousness, why did i for the longest time still believe in the popular phrase "we all goin' sin?" How come so many of us still tend to think we are bound to sin? This is because we still have a slave mentality thus continue to think and live as though we were still under captivity of sin. The famous cliche "we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" has become an excuse for stagnation. But we fail to understand, that scripture says " we have all sinned" meaning it is in the present passed. As long as we are born again and fellowship with Christ, we no longer have an obligation to sin! We sin because we give into what our heart and flesh desires. Fact is, if we walk by the spirit sin will become foreign to us. Get rid of the slave to sin mindset and start living in the freedom Christ died to give you.
The Scripture
14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
James 1:14-15
