What’s the worst form of slavery? It isn’t the kind the oppressors won’t recognize; it’s the one that even the slaves don’t see. Imagine a slave who doesn’t know that he or she is a slave. That person imagines their bondage is normal. He doesn’t seek freedom because he doesn’t know he’s enslaved. This is exactly how sin works. It doesn’t just dominate us, but it deceives us into thinking we’re free from its dominion. Jesus came to deliver us from the old way of life (a sort of death) by uniting us to Him in His resurrection. If we have been delivered from the slavery of sin and death, why would we go back to that way of living? Wouldn’t we want to live like free men and women?
