BONDAGE OF SIN - PART 1/2 - BY VALDEMIR MOTA DE MENEZES


For best performance we see the Holy Spirit breaking the dominion of sin and the flesh in our lives, we must recognize that Paul is the law of sin as a captive:

"Because, after the inward man I delight in God's law, but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members." Romans 7:22,23

Pay attention to the phrase used by the writer "take captive." It is this line of reasoning he declares in Romans 8:15 that we have not received the "spirit of bondage". The law of sin and death, is actually a bondage.

After thinking this bondage of sin extends and presents creation itself (ecosystems) enslaved and yearning for liberation:

"For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the freedom of God's children.

Because we know that the whole creation together, and groans in the pains of childbirth together until now, and not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. "Romans 8:19-23

And the Word of God draws a parallel between nature and humanity in these terms: both are in "bondage to decay", both awaiting release, and both have the same language
