What does the Bible say about being a servant of sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that before salvation, individuals are considered servants of sin, living under its reign and power.

According to Romans 6, the Apostle Paul explains that before God intervenes through grace, we are all servants of sin. This doesn't just refer to outward acts of sin; it encompasses a nature of sinfulness inherent in every human being. The unsaved are described as living in a state of rebellion against God, fulfilling the lusts of their flesh, making their sinful nature seem normal to them. Paul emphasizes that prior to God's intervention in our lives, we lack the ability to choose righteousness and are blind to our true state. However, upon receiving grace, there is the promise of being made free from sin and becoming servants of righteousness, indicating a transformative work that takes place in the believer's life.
