When Satan comes with his accusing cry, reminding me of my weakness and my frailty and my transgressions and my proneness to sin and all that, he can make out his case, I grant it, but I come back and say to him: “But, sir, where sin abounded, grace has much more abounded, and in Christ, whose name is Jesus, I have victory, even over my sins.” “Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.” We have a real Savior from sin in Christ Jesus, and when we trust Him, no more are we to go hobbled, with ball and chain, because of sin, because Christ becomes our personal Savior from both the penalty and power of sin.
