Romans 6:2

2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?

    

Herein lies the Truth that so many people don’t know, but they absolutely need to, through Christ we have totally died to sin. We have died to sins presence, power, pleasure, and its penalty. Far too many people believe that even though we are in Christ, we still have sin and are held accountable to it. Ask yourself this: how can Christ have sin? The Truth is that we are now flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone, Ephesians 5:30. It is also true that we have been crucified with Him, nevertheless we live, yet it is not us who lives, but it is Christ in us Who lives, Galatians 2:20. Far too many do not know that we have become one with Jesus, there is no separation between us at all, John 17:19-22. We are dead and our lives are hid in Him, Colossians 3:3. So for us to be held accountable to sin would mean that Jesus would be held accountable to sin. 

The Word of our Father also clearly tells us that there are no longer any Laws to convict us of sin. Jesus came and He did away with every ordinance that could ever convict us. 

Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross. Colossians 2:14
 

The glorious Truth is that through Christ we have died to sin. Jesus is now our Head and He now leads us in the paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake. Jesus is our Shepherd 100% of the time. We are never left alone to do anything on our own. Jesus is always 100% accountable for us. It is like this, we do not convict an arm for pulling the trigger of a gun, we convict the whole person. To convict us of sin and not our Head would be like convicting just body parts for crimes. To accept our absolute freedom from sin begins with being enlightened with the Truth of our oneness with Jesus. 

As long as a person believes that they are saved or not saved by their own actions they will always do the works of sin. But when the Holy Spirit empowers us with the Truth that we are free from sin, regardless of what we do, then we will actually stop doing the things that are called sin. When a person realizes that there is now no Law to convict us with, they will loose the desire to do the things that are wrong. It is just like dieting. When a person goes on a diet they are always hungry. But when they stop dieting they loose weight. It is the same way with sin. Tell someone not to lie and they will lie like crazy, feel guilty about it and lie some more. But tell them the Truth that through Christ it doesn’t matter and they will feel free and through Christ's power finally stop lying.
