34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

Message
Our text underscores the significance of freedom in the life of any man. A man who is denied of freedom is basically unable to engage in certain things. Roger R. Nicole, author and theologian, defines freedom as, “The ability to fulfill one’s destiny, to function in terms of one’s ultimate goal.” Freedom when gotten, brings happiness, sense of worth, creativity, ease of doing things, etc. Jesus is the only source of true freedom.

Sin brings a youth into bondage and eternal destruction. The mastermind behind sin is Satan. Sin is the root cause of sexual perversion, youthful lust, sickness, mental and spiritual slavery, and drug addiction. You can be free from sin and all kinds of slavery through the sacrifice of Jesus, the Son of God. Christ has the power to break every chain of sin. All you need to do is to acknowledge that you need freedom. Accept the sacrifice of Christ for your freedom. Walk and live in the reality of the freedom in Christ through obedience to His word.
Quote: Acknowledge that you need freedom
Challenge: Repentance from sin brings true freedom.
Prayer for today: Lord, set me free from sin and all kinds of slavery.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
