What Christ's Death Does For Believers

First, the death of Christ frees us from the consequences of sin— both condemnation and damnation.

Second, the death of Christ washes us from the defilement of sin. The blood of Christ cleanses and takes away our guilt— giving us a clear conscience before God. Our sins are gone, gone, gone— forever.

Third, Christ’s death frees us from sin’s power. We are loosed from the power and dominion of sin. Sin cannot drive us on to action now, for the blood of the Lamb has broken its controlling dominion. Those whom Christ sets free are free indeed. Praise be to God! To God alone belongs the glory— our victory is found in Him alone!
