In this glorious verse we are told how Christ has delivered us from sin. For if we have been baptized (or entered into oneness with Christ) then we have also been baptized (entered into oneness with His death). So as Christ died for Sin as a sacrifice-so too we (who are made one with Christ through the Holy Spirit), have also died for and to sin as well. This is the mystery of our salvation! As Christ died to sin in the spiritual realm; we also died with Him. Therefore sin is no longer accounted to us by God. We are made perfect in Christ. This spiritual reality was purposed by Christ Himself in John 17:20-22. Let us take a moment to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the great truth of our death to sin through Christ as a result of the spiritual miracle brought about by Jesus as described in the above mentioned verses.
" I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; (this is in reference to future believers-meaning us). that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which you gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as we are one."(John 17:20-22).
By faith you and I are made one with Christ-thereby freeing us from the judgement of sin. Hallelujah!! and again I say Hallelujah! Praise His wonderful name! It is because of the miracle of our being made one with Him that we have been set free from the curse of sin. Do you believe that today?
