“By His sacrifice, Christ brought us out of the slavery of sin into a new freedom of righteousness. But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness (Rom 6:17-18).”

We may not realize it on a conscious level, but definitely on a subconscious level. We see in someone else … something of ourselves.”
― Peter David, Imzadi Forever
