One of the primary benefits of our liberty in Christ is freedom from the domination of ungodly forces. Therefore, we are counseled not to put ourselves again ____.

• A. Slavery
• B. Chains
• C. Captivity
• D. Bondage

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that Christ’s liberty releases us from being under the power of ungodly forces, so the counsel is to avoid returning to a state of oppression. The best fit is bondage because Scripture often speaks of believers not being entangled again with a yoke of bondage after receiving freedom in Christ. This phrasing captures the precise biblical image of being under control or domination, which contrasts with the freedom Christ provides. While the other words—slavery, chains, captivity— convey oppression, they don’t carry the same idiomatic sense as “bondage” in the corded biblical expression about returning to oppressive control. The verse that uses this exact idea speaks of not being entangled again with the yoke of bondage, underscoring the call to remain in the liberty Christ has given.
