The realization that the Saviour's blood covers<br />

our sinful past brings healing to body, soul, and<br />

mind. Feelings <strong>of</strong> guilt may be dispensed with, for<br />

in Christ all is forgiven, all is new. By daily<br />

bestowing His grace, Christ begins transforming us<br />

into the image <strong>of</strong> God.<br />

As our faith in Him grows, our healing and<br />

transformation progress, and He gives us<br />

increasing victories over the powers <strong>of</strong> darkness.<br />

His overcoming <strong>of</strong> the world guarantees our<br />

deliverance from the slavery <strong>of</strong> sin (John 16:33).<br />

5. The gift <strong>of</strong> eternal life<br />

Our new relationship with Christ brings with it<br />

the gift <strong>of</strong> eternal life. John affirmed, "He who has<br />

the Son has life; he who does not have the Son <strong>of</strong><br />

God does not have life" (1 John 5:12). Our sinful<br />

past has been cared for; through the indwelling<br />

Spirit we can enjoy the blessings <strong>of</strong> salvation.<br />
