Addictions

Romans 6:17-18 says, "But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness." (ESV) What are you a slave to? God's Word tells us that because we have been set free from sin, we become slaves of righteousness. Are you a slave of righteousness? If we have an addiction to something we know that God's truth will set us free. John 8:31-32 says "..."If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (ESV). The key is abiding in God's word. How can we help someone who is searching for freedom from an addiction?
