What does the Bible say about deliverance from sin?
Answered in 15 sources
The Bible teaches that God delivers His people from sin through His sovereign grace, casting their sins behind His back.
In Isaiah 38:17, Hezekiah expresses his gratitude for God's deliverance, stating, "but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption, for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back." This illustrates the grace that not only brings about forgiveness but also an active love that rescues us from the pit of sin. The doctrine of sovereign grace underlines that this deliverance from sin is entirely attributable to the free and merciful love of God, who actively redeems those He loves from their iniquities, evidenced by the propitiatory work of Christ on the cross.
