Marriage And The Jesus Follower - Changing Who You Are Is Necessary Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 1, 2012

Jesus said He came to set us free from sin. But do we all sin? If I’m free from sin, does that mean I’m not in slavery? And, if I’m free from sin, does that mean I’ll come to a point in my life when I never sin again?
