The Days of Unleavened Bread serve as a memorial to God's law, symbolizing our strenuous efforts to rid our lives of sin, mirroring the physical act of deleavening. God expects us to continue striving to overcome sin, expending effort to keep it out of our lives as it emerges. Christ is not a minister of sin, and upon our repentance, His sacrifice blots out all our sins, freeing us from the penalty of eternal death and the responsibility of not remaining slaves to satan, the world, and sin. From a biblical perspective, every person is subject to slavery, either to sin or to God. Slavery and idolatry both entail complete subjection to a master's will. At the end time, satan will use the Beast power to control his Babylonish world, enslaving everyone physically within this tyrannical system. Nobody on earth is completely free from the bondage of this satanic Babylonian system in a physical sense. The significant shift is not from slavery to freedom, but from slavery to sin to slavery to God, from darkness to light, from falsehood to truth. Though our Lord and Master's yoke is easy and His burden light, a yoke still exists, and universal service on earth is assumed, with the critical issue being whether one's master is God or sin. All of creation suffers from the bondage of corruption, and unredeemed sinners are in bondage to sin and evil powers such as religious deities and various lusts. The world denies being controlled, yet they are slaves of satan without realizing it. Christ's death serves as the redemptive payment for deliverance from the slave market of sin, and His perfect life demonstrates that freedom is not autonomous perfection but a chosen relationship with God, requiring obedient rejection of sin's bondage. It is not enough to merely declare obedience to God; there must be a rejection of the control that the world, satan, and sin exert. Salvation is presented as spiritual freedom from slavery, involving a change of masters, expressed as freedom to serve Christ in the spirit with a view to total redemption in the new creation. Members of the church must resist compromising relationships with other masters and battle constantly to resist the world, satan, and sin's influence. Spiritual freedom only comes through Jesus Christ, and in the scope of eternity, slavery is a temporary condition.

The Bible portrays release from the penalty and bondage of sin as resulting from effort. Noah and his family staged the first physical escape when they circumvented the death-bringing power of the Flood, which was a type of release from God's judgment on sin. Baptism provides that release from sin. The New Testament instructs how to escape from the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. There is a massive need for escape from the one individual who is trying to keep people from being rescued. Neglect of salvation equates to not escaping the terrible condemnation of God. Those who hear God's New Covenant message and refuse to obey Him will not escape. The world is full of wickedness. God's plan for the redemption of mankind will deliver people from that corruption and make them holy. God will rescue them from the temptation to lust. People have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. People have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. From the standpoint of doing the part to escape Satan, sin, and the world, it is necessary to overcome sin with abstinence. If, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. The New Testament exhorts God's people to flee unrighteousness. The creation itself will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Paul speaks of Christ giving Himself for sins to rescue from the present evil age. God the Father has rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the kingdom of the Son He loves. Paul finds a law that evil is present, bringing into captivity to the law of sin. He asks who will deliver from this body of death and thanks God through Jesus Christ. God knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations. Behind much of the biblical imagery about the battles with physical and spiritual enemies lies the assurance that Christ will rescue from Satan, the world, human nature, evil, and death. God rescued and delivered to a place of freedom. God has the same delight in those who live righteously, reverencing and obeying Him. He desires to rescue from physical and spiritual enemies.

Sin is often described as a form of tyranny or bondage. Sin wraps the sinner up with strong cords and easily entangles its victim. Sin is a slave driver that must be mastered. Those who yield to sin are its slaves as it holds them in its clutches. Sin is the master of the rebellious person who experiences abject servitude under this merciless taskmaster. Everyone who sins is a slave to sin. As one gives in to sin it becomes the master. We are all slaves to something in varying degrees. We are slaves to governments to laws to employers but hopefully as Christians no longer to sin. The bondage of sin is vouched for from experience as a man sold as a slave to sin a prisoner of the law of sin. The whole world is a prisoner of sin. The Bible continues to equate slavery with sin. There is a way out of bondage. God provides a way out of the spiritual slavery of sin. By becoming free of this slavery one becomes slaves of another sort. Freedom from sin is found in Jesus Christ. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Through faith in Christ one can come out of sin.
