Freedom from sin, what a concept in the Church. Many cannot find freedom from its sting and pain. Many are forcibly trying to overcome in themselves what Christ has done for them. The Son has made us free. Yes, Christ is our freedom from sin.
In John's Gospel Chapter 8, it is recorded that Jesus told the Jews that they were slaves to sin. Many would not come to Him that they would be made free from sin. The reality that is in Him is we have forgiveness for our sins. He became sin for us, and sin is not held against us. The Apostle John tells us He is faithful and just to forgive us. This reality of Him fills our hearts. He took our sins. He became the missing of the mark to bring us to God in Himself. It was laid upon Jesus Christ.
What we have in the New Covenant is that of Christ. We do not simply have a good teaching of how to be better. We have the substance of how to be a New Creation. We have the substance of how to perform the Life of God within us. The substance we have is The Truth. The substance we have is Christ Jesus the Lord. His victory over sin reigns within us because HE REIGNS within us! Glory to God.
