<blockquote>[color:green]For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.</font color=green> Galatians 5:1 (ESV)</blockquote>But only Christians are set free. Before we are Christians, we are in that [color:green]"yoke of slavery"</font color=green> that Paul is telling us to not go back to. Before salvation, we are in forced labor to Satan and there is no way out. But we were born into that and so we know no other way of life. We just stay in that bondage because it is what we are naturally accustomed to. But then, Christ sets the Christians free. And it was for freedom that we were set free. Not everyone is set free. Some are left in their sin so as to show the justice of God and the love of God.
