What's the difference between being a slave to sin and struggling against sin?

That's just one of the questions we'll be answering on today's edition of Core Christianity.

Well, hi, this is Bill Meyer, along with Pastor Adriel Sanchez, and this is the radio program

where we answer your questions about the Bible and the Christian life every day.

If you'd like to ask Adriel a question, here's the way to do it.

Just leave us a voicemail at 833 The Core.

That's 1, 833-843-243-2673.

You can also post your question on one of our social media sites, and you can always

email us at Questions at Core Christianity.com. First up today, here's a voicemail that came in

from one of our listeners named Mitchell. What is the difference between being a slave to sin

and struggling against sin? Because I know there's a difference

one because people who are Christians are no longer slaves to sin. I just wonder what the

difference is between those two. Thank you and have a very day. Mitchell, what an excellent question.

And this one can cause a lot of concern because if you're a believer in Jesus Christ,

you know, you have that strong language in the New Testament about not being a slave to sin.

But we still struggle.

And sometimes we still struggle with the same sins over and over and over again.

We're praying, Lord, help me.

Help me with this.

Like, you know, I'm struggling with the same thing.

Am I a slave to sin?

Does this mean that I don't really belong to you as a Christian?
