Jesus Saves from Sin

MAN is not justified that he may continue in sin but that he may be freed from sin. He is not born into the liberty of the sons of God that he may have license to disobey God. Says Paul, "Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof." Rom. 6:1, 2, 6, 12. The controlling power of sin is broken, the slave of sin is set free. The lusts existing in the mortal flesh are beneath the heart holding connection with God. Jesus Christ is a whole Saviour. He saves from sin, he saves from sinning.
