Bible Summary. Our sin nature makes us a slave to sin. A slave does what their master tells them to do, even though the slave does not want to do it. The slave desired to do other things, but the slave cannot do them. A slave to sin does not have the power to break the bonds of sins. When we sin, we are no longer a servant of God, but a servant of sin.

John 8:34. You are a slave to sin if you commit sin. Sin is anything that is against God and not of God. God created us to serve Him and to serve Him for His purposes. When we sin, we are no longer a servant of God, but a servant of sin. John 8:34 says, “Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin”.

How did Jesus change our relationship with God? Do I have a sin nature? How do I become a new man (or woman) in Christ? Why is it so important?

Proverbs 7:25. Many of us fall into temptation and lust that leads us to live an unhappy life. Being out of the will of God and following our own lusts leads to self-destruction, disappointment, and dissatisfaction. A lustful heart can never be satisfied. Many strong people have subcombed to their lusts and have ended up leading a very unhappy life.

Ephesians 6:6. For some people, the source of why they are unhappy is that they are too busy trying to please man instead of God. God is the only true source of joy in people's lives, not man. God is the only one that can guarantee joy. He is the only one that has the power and the will to make people happy. A wife or husband cannot guarantee happiness. A child cannot guarantee happiness.

Hosea 12:10. To determine what is true prophecy and what is false prophecy, you need to determine if the prophecy came through God. No one but God can declare truthfully what will happen in the future. He is the only one that can be exactly certain about a future event. Someone can only prophesy if they have heard the prophecy directly from God.

1 Kings 3:9. God asked Solomon what He could give him. Solomon responded by asking for wisdom in judging others. Solomon desired to have the wisdom to discern between good and bad (1 Kings 3:9, "Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?").

Nehemiah 2:20. The faithful will always achieve success through God. God desires to bless all of us. In the Bible are recorded hundreds and hundreds of God's promises to bless us. All we need to do is have faith in His promises. His Son, Jesus Christ, has given us all a means to achieve success in this world and in the hereafter.

Revelation 19:10. Part of being a Christian brethren is to spread the testimony of Jesus Christ. In the book of Revelation an angel tells John (the author of Revelation) that he is a “ fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus”.
