I have been studying how the devil has us in bondage to sin. In John 8:30 - 34, Jesus says:
"As he spake these words, many believed on him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin."
And in 2nd Timothy 2:24-26:
"And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will."
So we see that in the first set of scripture that those which believed on him were also in bondage to sin.
And in the second set, that the devil has us in his snare at his will, not ours. So we are truly in bondage.
