Breaking the Chains: What the Bible Says About Addiction
By Caleb Billings•
The Bible may not use the word 'addiction,' but it speaks with stunning clarity about the human experience of bondage and the divine promise of freedom.
Romans 7:15 captures the essence of addiction: 'I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do — this I keep on doing.' Paul understood the struggle. And he pointed to Christ as the solution.
John 8:36 promises, 'If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.' Not partly free. Not managing-your-addiction free. FREE indeed. That's the promise of the gospel.
Every chain can be broken by the power of Christ. Your addiction is not an exception to God's power — it's an opportunity for God's glory.
