How do we know that Christ delivers us from the dominion of sin?
Answered in 1 source
Christ delivers us from the dominion of sin through His sacrifice, as He saves His people from their sins.
The assurance of Christ's deliverance from sin's dominion is rooted in His atoning work on the cross. Matthew 1:21 states, 'And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.' This reveals that Christ's purpose was not just to relieve our condemnation but to deliver us from the bondage and power of sin. His total victory over sin's rule is demonstrated by His resurrection, which assures us that He has triumphed over the darkness that once held us captive. In Him, we find not only forgiveness but also the strength to overcome the grip of sin in our lives.
