What does the Bible say about being set free from sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that only Jesus can set us free from the bondage of sin, as exemplified in the story of the demoniac in Luke 8:26-39.

In the account of the demoniac from Luke 8:26-39, we see a profound representation of how Jesus liberates individuals from sin and spiritual death. The man was bound for years by demons, which symbolizes the control that sin can exert over a person's life. Upon encountering Christ, he was freed by merely the command of the Savior. This reflects the core belief in historic Reformed theology that regeneration and liberation from sin are solely the work of God's sovereign grace. As Ephesians 2:1 states, we were dead in sins and trespasses until God quickened us to life in Christ. This transformation shows that it is only by the grace of God that we are made free.
