Chris.
Before Christ came we were slaves to the spiritual powers of the World System. There is no other sensible or Biblical definition of a person before they receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. This is true of every person in every Nation in the World before they know Him. Christ breaks the power of bondage and slavery to sin in our lives and sets us free. There are no exceptions.
