You Have Power Over Sin

The LORD Jesus, through His shed blood on the Cross of Calvary, destroyed and brought to an end, the power of sin in everyman that believes in Him. His death on the cross was the actual death of sin. He died not only that we be forgiven, but that sin, be removed from us. He destroyed sin the moment His blood was shed. He destroyed sin by the power of His death and shed blood. Believers can experience and live a life with no sin. John said, in 1 John 3:9 "Whosoever is born of God doeth not commit sin..."Christians must begin to see the possibility of living a sinless life on earth. Christ Jesus lived in that order on earth because it is possible. Sin should not have power over you. We are free because Christ died and shed His blood. Romans 6:10-13 declares: “For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body,that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.” We are commanded not to allow sin into our lives because we are free. Paul tells us: “The moment you come to the Cross, you legally receive power over sin.” “Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”We have a choice whether to allow leaven in our lives or not. Sin has been destroyed, and we have the power not to allow it into our lives
