John 1:29 "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God ,which taketh away the sin of the world."
One day when I was lost ,Jesus died upon a cross, to take away the sin of the world. He saved me; God took on the image of man, that man might once again be made in the image of God. He took on my image,endured my punishment and suffered my death, to take away my sin. Behold the Lamb of God.
Jesus died to free us from sin not in our sin. We must look too the Lamb of God that we might be saved.We must truly look to Him when we fall into divers temptations, for Jesus said "I have power over all flesh". Jesus and Jesus alone has the power to make the flesh behave. It is when we walk in the spirit of Christ that we don't give in to the lust,will and desires of the flesh. John tells us why we must look to Him, he says "which taketh away the sin of the world". Notice sin is singular, the sin that started all this was mans unbelief of God's word, which lead to man's disobedience to God's word. When man obeys God man is without sin, it is our disobedience to God that opens the door to all the evil of this world.Jesus is the only way man can be obedient to God.
Now I'm not saying you will never have sin in your life.The flesh is full of sin, and you have to carry it where ever you go. But think of it like a bottle full of whiskey, you can have it in your pocket,but as long as you don't open it and drink of it, you won't get drunk. Look to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
