1182 Words5 Pages

Anyone who does not understand sin and its poisonous fruits will indulge in it in ignorance, but those who know the power of righteousness will understand their inheritance in Christ. The message of salvation is the message of being saved by God from the destructive power of sin, and the release of the blessing of God upon those the Lord has saved.

Once you have fallen into the trap of sin, he will use other vices to keep you in bondage to sin, and he will keep you in bondage as long as you do not realise the need to be saved by Jesus.
