But isn't true that we are all slaves to something, or someone? I know many Christians who feel liberated by their faith, rather than enslaved. The God in whom the trust sets them free from the evil they hate in themselves, and free to do the good they are too weak to do alone. Rather than weaken them, God empowers them, they say.
They at first become liberated, but only end up enslaved once more.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
