How do we know Christ sets us free from sin?

According to John 8:36, 'If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.' This freedom is accomplished in two primary ways: first, through His atoning sacrifice, where He bore the sins of His people on the cross, relieving them from the penalty of eternal death. Secondly, through the new birth, the Holy Spirit transforms believers by granting them a new heart and a new spirit, enabling them to walk in obedience and faith. In this way, believers are not only forgiven but also empowered to live as children of God.
