Mar 16, 2024 · Salvation from sin’s reign and power is promised as an ongoing experience. There is freedom from sin as the dominating power in life: “But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life” (Romans 6:22). Salvation is also promised from sin’s presence.
