It is important to remember that we are not perfect creatures, and sin is all around us. As Christians, we have freedom from these sins through Jesus Christ and his death on the cross. He has made our lives new and forgiven us for our transgressions. 

Read these Bible verses to remember the greatest act of love and how by his sacrifice we are set free and welcomed into a true relationship with the Lord. 

Romans 6:23 

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. 

1 Corinthians 10:13 

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. 

1 John 1:8-10 

If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts. 

Acts 2:38 

Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 

1 John 2:1-2 

My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 

Hebrews 9:22 

In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
