graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot
                                       save. Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them
                                       take  counsel  together:  who  hath  declared  this

                                       from  ancient  time?  who  hath  told  it  from  that
                                       time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else

                                       beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none
                                       beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the
                                       ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none
                                       else. Isaiah 45:20-21 KJV


                                Christ-followers Are No Longer Slaves to Sin.
                                We are slaves to sin until Jesus Christ breaks the yoke. It is

                                hard for Christ-followers to  stay in sin because we are
                                convicted by the Holy Spirit, and we now love God.

                                       Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you,

                                       everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The
                                       slave does not remain in the house forever; the
                                       son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free,

                                       you  will  be  free  indeed. John 8:34-36 ESV
                                       [Emphasis Added]

                                       No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no

                                       one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or
                                       known  him.  Little  children,  let  no  one  deceive
                                       you.  Whoever  practices  righteousness  is

                                       righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a
                                       practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has
                                                              146
