How do we know that we have ceased from sin?

Answered in 1 source

Believers have ceased from the bondage and guilt of sin through their union with Christ, who took away their sins.

1 Peter 4:1 states that he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin. This cessation from sin applies both to Christ, who bore our sins and set us free, and to believers who are united with Him. In Christ, our sins are washed away, and God sees us as holy. While we continue to battle the presence of sin, we are no longer in bondage to it, nor do we bear the guilt and condemnation. Instead, we are enabled to live godly lives motivated by His love, reflecting our new nature as we walk in the Spirit.
