About this Quote

This quote by Jupiter Hammon speaks to the concept of sin and salvation. Hammon is referencing the Bible, which teaches that all people are born with a wicked nature. This means that we are all vulnerable to making mistakes and doing incorrect. We are also slaves to sin and Satan, suggesting that we are under the influence of evil forces. Unless we are transformed, or born again, we will remain in this state of sin and be unpleasant forever. Hammon is stressing the value of conversion and salvation in order to be free from sin and its repercussions. He is reminding us that we should turn away from our sinful nature and accept the grace of God in order to be saved. This quote works as a pointer that we should make every effort to live a life of righteousness and faith in order to be saved from our wicked nature and be devoid of the bondage of sin and Satan.
