So in essence every single human being was, is, and will be a slave to sin. The masters? Satan and other human beings. Praise Jesus Christ, He has taken away our sins upon the Cross, if you know Him as your personal savior. He then becomes your Eternal Master and one day in eternity you will no longer be a slave to sin; for sin will no longer be in existence!
While in this fallen world, everyone is a slave to one thing or another: a slave to work in order to keep our families going; a slave to politicians that make many laws people don't agree to; a slave to taxes and insurances "up the gum stump!" Victims of Identity Thief, victims of severe crime, victims of abuse. It can go on and on.........
Jesus' Words above include every person. "For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD." (Romans 3:23)
Ephesians 6:4-9, "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect, fear, and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not to win their favor, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of GOD from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly as if you were serving the LORD, not men, because you know your LORD will reward everyone for whatever good is done whether you are a slave or free. Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them since you know that He Who is both their Master and yours is in heaven and there is no favor with Him."
Slavery of every kind comes under the bonds of sin which mankind is under. "Nothing impure will ever enter heaven, nor anyone who does what is shameful, or deceitful, but only whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life." Revelation 21:27 Have you repented? Have you asked Jesus to forgive your sins and come into your heart? If you have and your have a true heart in doing so, your name in Written in His Book of eternal life!
