OF OUR SINS.

We are all PRISONERS OF OUR SINFUL NATURE.

We must accept that it’s our choice to sin and

only through following the right path – Jesus’ path – can we claim

salvation.

“When the soul surrenders itself to Christ, a new power takes

possession of the new heart. A change is wrought which men can never accomplish by himself. It is a supernatural element of human nature… Unless we become vitally connected with God, we can never

resist the unhallowed effects of self-love, self-indulgence, and

temptation to sin. -

Page 8: From Prison to Freedom

-We may leave off many bad habits, for a time we may part

company with Satan. But without the vital connection with

God, through the surrender of our selves to Him moment by moment, we can and will be

overcome once again by evil.”

- DESIRE OF AGES
