Mmhm and then he offered freedom from it in the New Testament
“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
John 8:31-32, 34-36
“Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil;
live as God’s servants .”
1 Peter 2:16 NIV
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh;
rather, serve one another humbly in love.”
Galatians 5:13
The whole world was turned over to disobedience because they rejected Gids word when he was speaking and revealing things
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.”
Romans 1:18, 21-26
the gospel is about being born again in Christ as new creatures not bound to sin and death but set free like Adam again before he chose the knoweldge of good and evil over Gods word
we can now hesr and believe Jesus through the gospel and have our sins remitted and receive the spirit of God
That doesn’t leave anyone without freedom it brings freedom to former slaves that can now choose to live and not die through faith in Christ
we can be redeemed from that state and snare of Satan if we acknolwedge the truth
“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.”
2 Timothy 2:24-26 KJV
Jesus can change us and set us free from sins control over us it doesn’t happen overnight and doesn’t happen without believing the truth
This is Gods offer of mercy upon all
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
there’s no work to be found but it requires one to trust fully the word of our God

You just always look for ways to avoid everything it’s a circle jesus has come to everyone and he’s spoken to everyone
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”
Mark 16:15-16, 19 KJV
that’s salvation available for all but like it says some won’t believe what he actually said in the gospel or what he did for us so they’ll be damned like he said
Its in the world already salvation is to believe the lord not avoid what he said
grace comes from hearing the lord and believing him like Noah did , that’s all we have to do too believe the gospel and what it actually does say
i don’t really want to keep going in the circles

Ephesians 4:5-6
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;”
Colossians 1:18-23
we just hold on to our faith band grow up on him and it’s as sure as anything he’s ever said
