At salvation a radical change takes place. We pass from death to life. John 5:24. Colossians 1:13 says, “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.”

We are no longer bound to sin. Ephesians 2:1 says, “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins.” Romans 6:18 says, “And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.”

Verse 14 says, “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” Verse 17 says, “But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.”

Our new marching orders: Ephesians 4:1-3 says, “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
