Freed from sin.
"For he that is dead is freed from sin" (Romans 6:7 KJV). A dead man is no longer a slave to sin. A man who surrenders fully unto the Lord Jesus Christ is no longer a man enslaved by the sin nature. A man who does not desire to follow after his own sinful ways anymore is a man who will be touched deeply by the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul wrote in the sixth chapter of the book Romans, "Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him"(vs.8). Jesus gave us victory at the cross. The cross has set men and women free from the bondage of sin. The cross holds victory for every believer in Jesus Christ. If we grab a hold of the cross and reckon ourselves dead to sin, we will live a victorious life. Jesus freed all mankind at the cross. Everything that stood against man and everything that was between man and God is now taken out of the way through the precious blood of Jesus Christ that was shed at the cross. The devil's schemes, deceiving lies, and wickedness was all defeated by Jesus Christ that day on the cross. The blood of the Lord washes every sinner free, free from guilt, shame, condemnation, and blame. If one wants true freedom, they will follow after Jesus Christ even through the storms of life. They will follow after Christ. Nothing can stop us from that great love. There's no time to look for another answer when Jesus is the answer. He's the only way, truth, and life to the Father. So many people spend hours trying to find other ways to freedom and Heaven, but it is only through the cross of Christ. Jesus came with one thing on His heart, and that was to liberate man from chains of sin, from bondage of darkness, and out of the hands of satan. Follow Christ, and He will save you. God bless you. Amen
