Bondage, in any form, is a tool the devil enjoys using to keep people both saved and lost from experiencing God. For the saved, we must remember that after we become Christians that we bring much of our past into our new life. We are still in this rotten flesh with all the same desires that we had previously, but the word of God tells us ..."we are new creatures" inside because we have 'new life' in us--Jesus becomes our LIFE and He wants to live out what He has placed within us. John14:6,"Jesus saith unto him(He was speaking to His disciples, but we may place our name here),
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" Without the way, there is no direction as to where to go. Without the truth--His word--there is no knowledge of our need of salvation, of the gospel--Christ's death, burial, and resurrection for mankind--and how to identify ourselves with what Christ did for us (personally). Without life, we simply exist with no purpose. Christ brings all these things together and causes us to realize that it is no more us doing anything, but it is Christ. Galations 2:20 is our example. We must remember that when Jesus died, He took upon Himself, ALL our sin(unbelief), sins, habits, iniquities, transgressions, etc and made them His very own. He paid the ultimate payment for what we struggle with and choose to continue practicing/enjoying /participating in when we have been given the power to overcome them by acknowledging that it is no longer us living, but it is Christ living in, with, and through us and He would not do/go/participate in what we choose.
