Sin is slavery. Whoever sins submits to slavery. Unbelief is the arm of sin. Obedience and Faith are freedom. Freedom is the east of justice. Why does man live in sin and slavery? Because he wants to! He finds sin attractive and desirable, serves it and gives blood to be its slave. Why? Because man does not like the gift of life, which comes from God, he rejects life and fights fiercely to stand in the way of destruction. He wants to be a slave and die, because he thinks he is too righteous. He doesn't want true life, freedom and light. The Bible says that everyone has sinned absolutely, and that is why they are separated from the Glory of God. God loves all those whom He has created, and bestows upon them of His grace, providence, protection, love, instruction, life, mercy, and light in a generous, superabundant, and overflowing measure. But man does not want to live, he wants to be a slave and die. Why? It all rests on the ancient fact that man wants to be more just than God, the creature more just than its Creator, the clay wiser than its potter, and the ax more knowledgeable than the blacksmith who made it. This is the root of Adam's sin, this was the sin of the Ancient Angel and the sin of the present generation, which does not want to know the Love of the Lord and all think themselves more righteous than the Almighty Father who created everything, and that gave existence to the whole being that breathes. Man does not want salvation because it is a gift from God that cannot be bought, because it is free, by faith, and does not claim any merit from man! Because God is good, and because he is just, and man does not want to admit his miserable state of corrupt sin and perdition. He doesn't want to get rid of his petty dead ego and his microscopic merits. For God is good, and he saves us not by our merits, but by his grace, through Jesus Christ, his Son, the only one who fulfilled absolute righteousness, and who, as a man, lived the only perfect life that was possible among us, and having lived it, he sacrificially gave it up to save all who receive him by faith, looking to the Creator for even a second of their lives, bending, giving up his own merits and accepting the Justice of Life Perfect and Eternally Just of Jesus.
