Ps. 107:2
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
The Old song says,
"I'm redeemed, by love Divine,
Glory, glory,
Christ is mine.
All to a Him, I now resign.
I have been, I have been redeemed"
God says,
I was a slave to sin, but Jesus set me free. I was bound to sin, but now I am free from sin (Ro.6:7); I am empowered to depose sin (Ro.6:12); I am enabled to live my life in God's service (Ro.6:13); I now serve God in obedience, resulting in righteousness (Ro.6:16); I am the servant of righteousness (Ro.6:18); I present my body to serve righteousness, resulting in holiness (Ro.6:19); I produce fruit, which results in holiness, which in turn results in everlasting life (Ro.6:22).

Romans 6:6-22
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
"Praise the Lord, Jesus set me free from sin, He did not leave me in sin's grip, under sin's domain, serving sin. He set me free from sin, He did not set me free to sin. He set me free to live righteously and to please Him. He did not leave me in the dark, but brought me into His marvelous light."
THE PROBLEM, THE REASON, THE SOLUTION
THE PROBLEM
When we claim to be Christians, but continue to sin, serve sin, live in sin, then we are not saved because we are not saved from sin. God said that Jesus saves His people from their sins (Mt.1:21).
THE REASON
People are being led astray. They are being told that Jesus does not save His people from their sins. They are being told that they cannot be saved from sinning. They are being told that cannot be dead to sin. They are being told that they cannot be pure, righteous, holy, that they cannot walk in the light as Christ is in the light, that they cannot walk or live in the Spirit.
THE SOLUTION
Preachers and teachers need to tell the truth of God instead of the lies of Satan (Ge.3:4). People need to abandon sinning religion clubs and defeatist groups, and they need to find a Bible believing, preaching, teaching, following church and learn the truth. Look at Romans 6:17
"But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you."
The doctrine of salvation from sin, the doctrine of the Bible, must be heard and must be heeded if we are going to be saved (Ro.6:17-23).
