Jesus said: "Everyone who sins is a slave to sin", John 8:34. Exegesis, meaning, understanding and commentary of the bible verse.

Jesus in the gospel of John 8:34 teaches us: "everyone who sins is a slave to sin", this in practical terms means that error keeps us in error.

The sin is the opposite of good: "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them", James 4:17.
When we resolve using gift of counsel (listen, meditate with intuition and inspiration, decide with discernment) we are accurate and exact. Examples of this gift are jesus and the denarii (Luke 20:25), jesus and the prostitute (John 8:7).
If this is so other forms of resolution such as justice and sin are deviations from the counsel, then necessarily justice and sin are forms of error. This is the true nature of the sin, the error. Practice the sin is practice the error.
Although there is free will, when we sin we are doing almost forced actions, because reason indicates to man the true good: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind". This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: "Love your neighbor as yourself". All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22: 34-40
The apostle Paul expresses the slavery of the sin in another way: "For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do" Romans 7:19. When we sin, the mind goes from here to there, following fleeting desires. The fight of the mind against itself is a consequence. The sin, that is error, is associated with a high state of psychic suffering, for example fear becomes a general and diffuse emotion, he who hates also fear. The fear is a form of retribution: "there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear has to do with punishment", 1 John 4:18.
The sin is practice because the mind is focused in the on false goods: "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money" Matthew 6:24
The error limits us and Good frees us, we choose between good and evil.
