it will allow living a life of holiness not by human efforts, if
not for what Christ represents in us, and that only He is the
fullness of everything, enjoying His Grace without depending on
our works for approval.

you can reach the glorious goal set by God. 24. Without
embargo, God declares us just freely and graciously
through Christ Jesus, who set us free from the punishment of
our sins. 25 For God offered Jesus as the
sacrifice for sin. People are declared righteous to
the eyes of God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life to
to shed his blood. That sacrifice shows that God acted with
justice when it held back and did not punish those who sinned in the
past, 26 because I was looking towards the future and in that way the

he did all that to demonstrate his justice, because he himself is
just and impartial, and declares the sinners just in His eyes
when they believe in Jesus.

God declared us righteous through Christ, legally, it's like
if we had never been accused, it is possible because Jesus took
the punishment that we deserved and paid the price, the price was
his own life.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith;
and this is not from you, for it is the gift of God;
not by works, so that no one may boast.
Hebrews 9:12 With his own blood — not with the blood of
goats nor calves— entered the Most Holy Place alone
once and for all, and secured our eternal redemption.

thanks to what Jesus Christ our Lord did for
we. 2 Because of our faith, Christ made us enter into
this place of unearned privilege in which now
we remain, and we wait with confidence and joy
to participate in the glory of God.
1.1. No Condemnation:
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those
who are in Christ Jesus, those who do not walk according to the
flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Romans 8:34. Who is he that condemns? Christ is the one who
died; moreover, the one who also rose, the one who is also
at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
Jesus is interceding for us, he is the only one who can
intercede before the Father, through Christ, for our sins
they were taken away, our fault was taken away, so it is
Satan, who accuses us, when he does, our lawyer Jesus.
it shows that everything has already been paid, The Father sees Christ in us,
because we believed in Him.
Hebrews 4:14-15 14 Therefore, since we have a great
High Priest who entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold on to what we believe. 15 Our High Priest
understand our weaknesses, because they faced all of them and
each of the trials we face, without
embargo, he never sinned. 16 So let us draw near with all
confidence at the throne of the grace of our God. There
we will receive your mercy and find the grace that
will help us when we need it the most.
Since Christ has freed us from condemnation, from accusation, from the
criticism that caused sin to live confidently the
freedom that we have in Christ.
1.2. Free from the power of sin:
Ephesians 1:7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace.
God is so rich in grace and goodness that He bought our
freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins.
All our sins have already been forgiven, He no longer remembers.
of our sins Hebrews 10:17.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
he has delivered me from the law of sin and death.
When we receive Christ, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us.

a life without sin governing us, because we no longer live

we will be fewer of us.
If he has already delivered us from condemnation and the power of sin,
So do we have the freedom to sin?
Romans 6:12-15. 12 Do not let sin control the
way of living;ado not give in to desires
sinful. 13 Do not let any part of your body
become an instrument of evil to serve sin.
Instead, surrender yourselves completely to God, for before
they were dead but now they have a new life. So
use your whole body as an instrument to do what
it is correct for the glory of God. 14 Sin is no more
your master, because you no longer live under the demands of the
law. Instead, they live in the freedom of God's grace.
15 Well then, does that mean we can continue sinning
Why has the grace of God freed us from the law? Of course!
no!
Why does the nature of sin not live in us? Because in
Colossians 2:11 says:
When you came to Christ, you were "circumcised"
but not through a bodily procedure. Christ took to
He completed a spiritual circumcision, that is, he removed their
sinful nature.
1.3. Holy facts in Jesus Christ:
1 Corinthians 1:2. to the church of God which is in Corinth, to the
sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints with all
those who invoke the name of our anywhere

Our Lord Jesus Christ, Lord of them and of us.
Only through Christ are we made holy, by taking our

the weight of sin, Christ has made us pure.
1 Corinthians 1:30 God has united you with Christ Jesus.
God made him wisdom itself for our
benefit. Christ made us righteous before God; He made us pure and
saints and freed us from sin.
Christ made us pure, holy, and delivered us from sin! That does not mean

freedom, we can confidently enter before the throne of Grace,
our relationship with God is clean and without condemnation, to have the
freedom to have even greater communion with God, even more freedom
to adore him and grow in communion with God so that Christ may grow
more in us.
Ephesians 1:4 Even before he made the world, God chose us
he loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and
untouchable in their eyes.
Even before the foundation of the world, God already loved us and us

we are being perfected as we decide to take more
and more to Christ, who is our fullness, in this way what
we believe it will be reflected in that we are being perfected
until the day Christ comes.
With new life.
1 Corinthians 15:21 For since death came through a man
through a man, also through a man comes the
resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam
Everyone dies, but also in Christ all will return to live.
Our spirit now has the life of God:
Ephesians 2:4
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with
who loved us, even when we were dead in sins,
he gave us life together with Christ (by grace you are saved), 6
and together with him raised us up, and made us sit
in heavenly places with Christ Jesus.
For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.
Because for this purpose the gospel was preached even to the
dead, so that although they are judged in the flesh as
men, live in the spirit according to {the will of}
God.
Colossians 2:13
And when you were dead in your trespasses and in the
the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made alive together with
He, having forgiven us all sins
Do we have new life in the bodily part?
1 Corinthians 15:45 The Bible says that God made Adam, and
that Adam was the first man with life. But Christ, whom
we can call the last Adam, it is a spirit that gives life.
46 So first the physical came into existence, and then the
spiritual. 47 The first man was made from the dust of the
earth. The second man came from heaven. 48 All those who
we live on this earth we have a body like that of Adam,
what was made of earth. Everyone who lives in the sky
they have a body like that of Christ. 49 And just as we
we resemble the first man, who was taken from the earth, thus
we will also be like Christ, who is from heaven.
50 Brothers of mine, what is of blood and flesh does not have
capacity in the kingdom of God, which is eternal. 51 I am going to tell you
something that God kept secret: Not everyone will die, but
we will all be transformed. 52 In the blink of an eye
eyes, when Christ returns, the last touch will be heard
trumpet, and the dead will rise to live nevermore.
And we will be transformed. God will change these
our bodies, that die and are destroyed, for bodies
they will live forever and will never be destroyed.
Do we have life in the part of the soul?
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Psalm 16:2
He restores my soul.
Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
Psalm 35:9
Psalms 42:5, 11
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
