"Kidnapped by Sin; Rescued by Faith"

Scripture- Luke 15:11-16, 22-24

Preacher- Rev. Dr. James A. Jackson, Jr
The word kidnapping means "being taken away from a current situation and be put in a new role" or "being held hostage and having no control". This is what sin tries to do to us.
Like the younger son in our scripture text, we need to come to our senses. We must realize and recognize our need for God. If it was not for God- where would we be?
Because of repentance and believing we are forgiven, we can be rescued. Through faith in God's gift of salvation through Jesus, we shall be saved.
Christ broke the shackles binding us sin thru His death and resurrection. Because of this, we can walk in the newness of life. God rescued us from sin by giving us His only Son. Let your faith in God keep you from being kidnapped by sin!
Hallejuah and AMEN!!
