The things of this world so easily entrap us!
Be wise, not living in a rose colored world, BUT be as gentle and kind to others as God is to us. The Holy Spirit is always with us to guide and teach us. He will not leave you as He found you. You will be changed, precept by precept, into the image of His Son.
Whom Jesus makes free is free indeed.
Be fair
Forgive easily
Always be humble
Membership by birth was superior to membership by obligation. Faithlife Bible.
Jesus was speaking of spiritual slavery. Such a slave cannot break away from his bondage. He must have someone else set him free. A slave was not a permanent resident of a house. A son remained a family member with family privileges forever. The application proves that the “Son” here is Jesus Christ. As a family member, the Son can bestow family privileges on others. NKJ Bible.
John 8:34-36
34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Proverbs 5:22 | His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is caught in the cords of his sin.
Romans 6:16 | Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
Galatians 5:1 | Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
