Freed and Separated From Sin

August 14, 2022

“I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings” (Ps 40:1-2).

“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is cruci ed with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him” (Ro 6:3-9).

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the esh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the esh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful esh, and for sin, condemned sin in the esh: That the righteousness of the law might be ful lled in us, who walk not after the esh, but after the Spirit” (Ro 8:1-4).

Sin is being apart from Christ. Sin is death. Sin is being outside of Christ, if life is being in Christ. Sin is being in bondage, imprisonment, enslaved. Therefore, sin is not just moral failure. In reality means that if we are sinners, we are outside of Christ. We don't often think about this because it offends non-Christians. If we say that we are free, that means that everyone else is a slave and will die. Everyone who dies is a slave because they are outside of Christ. This freedom is a condition -- you can only be free of the law of sin and death if you are in Christ Jesus.
