What does the Bible say about spiritual bondage?

The narrative of the man named Legion serves as a poignant illustration of spiritual bondage. Just as Legion was possessed and controlled by demons, every unconverted person is under the dominion of sin and Satan. Romans 3:23 tells us that 'all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,' which confirms our state of helplessness apart from divine intervention. It reflects our natural condition: shameless in wickedness, hurtful to our souls, and living in enmity against God, as seen in Ephesians 2:1-3, where we are described as dead in our transgressions and sins.
