the Passion of Jesus: the slavery of sin by ric gustafson
Our sin makes us guilty before God. It racks us with guilt. But the blood of Jesus frees us from that slavery. Jesus absorbs the wrath of God. Jesus takes away our guilt.
Jesus had to suffer so the mercy of heaven could give us liberation from the power of sin. A declaration from sin is justification. An ongoing transformation is sanctification. The power of God is his liberating mercy. According to Romans 6, we are not under law but are under grace. God's grace frees us from the guilt and slavery of sin.
