Being free from the
penalty of sin is not something we get to pay for with our blood, sweat and
tears. It is not even purchased with the ability and strength of man. It comes
from the precious blood of Jesus and the scriptures alone. The Bible clearly
states about the great influence of his death to all believers. Now we deserve
to enjoy freedom and independence from the bondage of sin.
Romans 8:1-4 tells
us that there’s no more punishment for those who believe in Jesus. “God did by
sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He
condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be
fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the
Spirit.” (Romans 8:3b-4)
Fulfillment of the
Holy Spirit has created a new law, the new agreement which has broken the chain
of sin. We no longer live under sin but are freed to live a life led by the Holy
Spirit. “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty.”(2 Corinthians 3:17)
The Bible says
about the simple truth of sin, that freedom has become ours through Christ
Jesus. To experience and enjoy true freedom, we need to open our heart to be
filled by the Holy Spirit. (read Romans 6:6, 18, 22)
Our old is
exchanged with a new creation. We are no longer slaves to sin. Our future is
the joy, peace and freedom in the Spirit. God has a bigger plan through
everyone far beyond our merely focus on sin; being sorry for ourselves and
collapsed with the fall and our dark past. Jesus died to give us abundant life
where freedom and love to be a part of us, instead of sin and destruction.
Holy
blood of Jesus shed on the cross in remembrance of human freedom from the law
of sin and death once and for all.
