--I am serving a sentence in Danville Correctional Center because I was living a life of Idolatry, and was caught for choosing to 'do what I thought was right, in my own eyes.'

--A. Escobar, A sinner set free by Jesus Christ.
-The hopelessness of Idolatry~~
--Exodus 20:1-2

"Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles." (Romans 1:22-23)

I found out the hard way, that God is strict in His Word, demanding complete obedience to all His precepts. Why then do people bow before images? Why do men worship trees, rats, saints, and other idols? If you take a look around, you will see that this is so. I know that behind the walls of the prison where I live, these distorted kinds of worship are evident. A believer in Jesus has to wonder why a father in Mexico would sacrifice his little daughter to the "god of the harvest". And why do so many worship creation rather than the Creator who made all that is seen?

Because of my sinfulness and lustful living, I was put in this Jail. We find true freedom when we smash all the idols in our lives. We must choose to serve the living God, Jesus Christ, over our sinful lifestyles. Everybody is enslaved to something. 'The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, or the boastful pride of life.' Freedom is found in surrendering your life to Jesus Christ.

Jesus came to this sinful world by choice, in order to set us free from our sinfulness. He died on the Cross, so that we can go to Heaven. He took all of our sins on his shoulders so that you and I can have life and that more abundantly. I am imprisoned for living my life my own way. I hope you will not do the same. Jesus loves all of the people in this world, (John 3:16). But He gives each person the choice to follow Him. I found freedom, when I surrendered to Jesus Christ.

Please listen to someone who's been in the worldly pleasures of life. I wasn't 'free' until I said I was a sinner in need of a Savior. Won't you surrender to Jesus today, and know for sure that you will go to Heaven when you die? Come to the Savior, Jesus and you can be set free as well.
