Saved From Sin

 

Ever heard this?

“Jesus saved me from my sins.”

What does this mean? What is sin?

According to 1 John 3:4, “sin is lawlessness.” Sin is not obeying the law.

What law?

The law of God.

What is the law of God?

The first five books of the Bible, the “law,” originally called, the torah: God’s teaching and instructions.

How important are these instructions?

Well, disobedience to them caused Adam and Eve to be expelled from the Garden of Eden.

Scripture proves that if Jesus came to save you from sin, then He came to save you from disobedience to God's instructions - the torah! 

So, Jesus came to restore us to the original condition of man – eternal life and obedience to God’s teaching and instructions.
