Is Death Your Savior?

? Grim Reaper = Savior ?

If freedom from sin is only accomplished in death, then Jesus did a poor job of saving. 

If it's true that only after death we can be completely free from sin, wouldn't that make death our deliverance and the grim reaper our savior? 

Who is your Savior? 

Death/Mr. Reaper? 

or Jesus?

"He used His servant body to carry our sins to the cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way"- 1 peter 2:24


You no longer have a nature that is stuck in, or even prone to sin (Col 2:11, Rom 6, Ezekiel). Understanding this is paramount to walking and “reigning in life over sin”(Rom 5:17).

Without this understanding, you will literally sin by faith. 

Your faith in your sinfulness will produce exactly what you believe for. A thought (a seed) always produces after its kind. Or as Jesus puts it "as you think in your heart so are you."

Identity is made up of who we are and whom we believe ourselves to be, which always precedes our actions.

In the past blogs, we have established the tremendous effect that our thoughts and beliefs about who God is and who we see ourselves to be can have on our reality, our feelings, and our lives. (Have you reading “Taking Out The Fight?” Click Here)

 Let’s just look at a small number of the promises given related to this topic:

You’re dead to sin and alive to God (Rom 6:11).

God is faithful and always provides a way out for you (1 Cor 10:13).

If you walk in the Spirit, you won’t gratify selfish desires (Gal 5:16).

When we are submitted to God, it causes a fleeing effect on our enemy (James 4:7).

Not only are you able to through Him, but also you are blessed when you are steadfast and receive a reward from Him (James 1:12).

If you belong to Christ, you have already died to the sinful desires once lurking in your members (Gal 5:24).

He actually prevents and keeps you from stumbling through His ability (Jude 1:22).

What freedom isn’t

It doesn’t mean you won’t ever make mistakes. We don’t expect a baby not to poop in their pants, but we do expect a child in middle school not to. Let's remove the crutch that empowers sin. It’s a travesty to the work of the cross to think you can’t help but sin. 

Jesus sacrifice wasn’t too weak to deliver.

 What does it mean to be free from sin?


“No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.”- 1 john 3:9

Romans 6:16 says, “You are a slave to whomever you obey.” This statement mirrors Jesus when He says in John 8:34, “Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.”

If we are free from sin, as Romans 6 and other passages state, that means we are free to not sin. We do not have to. God has given complete provision not to.

John is so sure of this that not only does he state, “Those who are born of God will not remain in sin” but also in 1 John 2:1, “My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin.” Following that statement with, “but if you do, we have an Advocate.”

To me, this sounds like the normal Christian life is meant to reign above sin, which is seen in Romans 6:12, “Do not LET sin…” To let or allow, you must have a choice. You are not hopelessly bound to sinning.

“What you believe to be true, even when untrue, has the ability to confirm itself. What you do and even feel is directly connected to what you believe. When we believe in what is true, we partner with God to reshape and mold our experience, which brings about victory.”- Taking Out the Fight

To live a life of freedom and victory over sin, we must first have our minds renewed to our empowerment not only just to choose, but our predisposition to choose correctly. “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” – Phil 2:13

I would encourage you to search out some of the passages that I referenced and let the Holy Spirit reveal these truths to you. There is so much liberty when we realize that Jesus actually really did set us free from sin. That whom the Son has set free is free indeed.
