John 8:34

Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

According to his custom, Christ makes no direct argument in reply, but states. truth and leaves them to apply it. The sinner is the slave of sin. Action forms habit, and habit is. second nature. We say of the drunkard, the tobacco chewer, the opium eater, the swearer, or the gambler, that he is the slave of habit. The same principle is involved in all evil doing, which tends to fasten evil habits upon the soul. Whoever sins is binding upon himself the chains of slavery. This is. law of our being. How many there are who become conscious of their weak, sinful condition and sigh for deliverance. See Romans 7:9-24.
