English term or phrase: Rather than shackling us
If only men and women would realize that, as the Bible says, our hearts will never naturally go the way that even our consciences say is right. ***Rather than shackling us***, the opposite is true when we turn to the Bible. Belief in the Scripture and the Christ of the Scripture, enables us to turn from our sin and failure and gives us a fresh start; a transformed life in which we are no longer a slave to doing wrong. Calling on the name of Christ as the one who came to take the punishment for our sin liberates and frees individuals from the grip of sin and death. When whole groups of people turn, it transforms communities and the nation is affected.
