What does bondage to sin mean?

Answered in 1 source

Bondage to sin refers to the condition where individuals are enslaved to sin and unable to free themselves.

The concept of bondage to sin illustrates the spiritual paralysis and helplessness of humanity apart from Christ. As described in the sermon, Isaiah 1:5-6 explains that 'the whole head is sick' and indicates a total depravity where men are incapacitated by sin. This bondage is not merely psychological; it is a state that requires divine intervention. Colossians 1:13 explains how believers are delivered from the power of darkness, signifying a liberation that comes through Christ's redemptive work. Without this divine act, people remain unaware of their captivity and cannot break free by their own will, thus emphasizing the necessity of God's grace in salvation.
