Vícios
A Bíblia nos alerta contra os vícios e comportamentos destrutivos. Deus nos chama à liberdade em Cristo, não à escravidão de desejos e hábitos que consomem corpo e alma.
A escravidão do pecado
Todo vício é uma forma de escravidão. Jesus veio para libertar os cativos e restaurar a verdadeira liberdade dos filhos de Deus.
