In Christ, it has happened for all genuine believers that sin shall not have dominion over them. A way out has now been provisioned by the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord. By grace we are possessing Christ the Lord within us and we are possessed by Him through the blood on the cross. In the New Testament, it is called the mystery of Christ which was hidden for generations and ages and has been now unlocked by His coming as a Babe in the obscure town of Bethlehem some two thousand years back in time and space. The mystery of Christ rests on the cross where He died in our place as an act of propitiating once for all for sinners like us who were still the enemies of God. Christ Jesus was put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.
Jesus didn’t die for Himself, but for the world. Jesus didn’t die in vain, but for the redemption of all who believe in Him. Jesus Christ didn’t die just for the forgiveness of our sins though it is true. He gave His life on the cross in order to impart His new life to His church in which He indwells by the means of the Spirit. Do not misunderstand that church is building. Church never be building, but people just like you and me whoever believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ living in us is the mystery of God. Therefore, sin shall not have dominion over us. We’re always in Him and His grace, not under the law. That iron bondage to sin and death has now been shattered down, so it has no longer dominion over authentic Christians. Isn’t it good news? So, we live now on that basis by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
