Before we put our Faith in Christ, we were prisoners to sin. (Galatians 3:21-22)

Galatians 3:21-22

New Living Translation (NLT)

²¹ Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it. ²² But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.

Before faith in Christ delivered us, we were imprisoned by sin, beaten down by past mistakes, and choked by desires that were wrong. God knew we were sin's prisoners, but He provided a way of escape - faith in Christ. Without Christ, everyone is held in sin's grasp, and only those who place their faith in Christ ever get out of it. Look to Christ - He is reaching out to set you free.
