“He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.” (‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- What was the purpose of Jesus’ death on the cross? - Why did He endure such a brutal beating? - And why allow them to drive the nails through His hands and feet? - So that… you could be dead to sin. - That would have been enough if it just said “Dead to sin”. - That means that you are immune from the penalty of sin and the power of sin. - Sin no longer has the ability to control you or be passed down to future generations. - You no longer have to live in regret and shame. - But he doesn’t stop there. He also says that we can live for what is right! - That is living the righteous life that Jesus wants you to live. - Sin is kicked out of your life and the Righteous life of Christ has moved in. - All of His power to live this Righteous life is now attainable through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in you! - Jesus personally carried your sins on His body so that you could have victory over those same sins! - He has done what you and I were unable to do! - So think back to any sin that you have struggled with or carried the guilt and shame of. - Well you are now dead to that sin! - Shame is a thing of the past! - Guilt is gone! - You are set free in Jesus name! - That’s the power of Jesus sacrifice. - Now all you have to do is take Jesus at His word! - Believe in Him and and live in His power! - By His wounds you are healed! - Thank Him and walk in your new found freedom today! - Have a great Wednesday!
