I am not merely a sinner covered in the blood of Jesus. I am a completely new creature, in Christ—my sin died on that cross. My sin nature was incapacitated on Calvary. When Jesus died on that cross, He died as a sinner. He became our sin and died in that state. But when He conquered death, and busted Hell wide open, He arose our Savior, the sin completely gone from Him. If I was crucified with Christ, and then raised with Him, the sin is also gone from me. He has already won. The battle is over.
Read Romans 6 with that in mind.
your words create a new outlook on what Jesus did for us. I love how you think! it’s exciting to think that my sin had been killed and now i can begin new!
THAT is what makes His sacrifice so much more powerful! the fact that He not only subjected Himself to torture, but He also went from perfection to decrepit, hideous, sin blasted ugliness for us.
its good to have a sister like you.
