“He himself carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we would be dead to sin and live for righteousness. Our instant healing flowed from his wounding.”1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬ ‭TPT‬‬

For us mortals the sin nature is the problem. Whilst, for us who believe Jesus is our saviour, the legal truth is sin was defeated by Jesus, nonetheless, we battle with sin in our flesh wanting resurrection, daily. Why does this happen? Because we foolishly believe it is up to me to be holy. Wrong! It is faith in what Jesus has done that makes us holy; He imputes His holiness to us. We must live by faith in the finished work of the cross, this is called walking in the Spirit.

We do not need to defeat sin, it has already been done, we need to walk in trust and faith that Jesus did the work for us. Jesus took on sin and paid the penalty for that sin, He died, however, when He rose again He defeated the power of sin. Sin has no dominion over me unless I give it authority to do so.

What does Romans 5:1 say?

“Our faith in Jesus transfers God’s righteousness to us and he now declares us flawless in his eyes. This means we can now enjoy true and lasting peace with God, all because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, has done for us “.

Romans 8:1,2 says:

“So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One. For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.” Amen!!!
