John 8:10 - 12 (NKJV)
When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of the life."
Romans 6:4 - 14 (NKJV)
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in the newness of life. For if we have united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin, for he who died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace.
Abba Father in Jesus we have been delivered from the power of darkness, redeemed through His blood we have been forgiven of all sin (Colossians 1:13 & 14), we no longer walk according to our flesh, but we walk according to the Holy Spirit and we are no longer under condemnation because we are in Jesus (Romans 8:1), we are righteous in Your sight, Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2), Jesus has made it possible for us to sin no more, to walk worthy of You, fully pleasing You, being fruitful in every good work and daily knowing You more (Colossians 1:10); it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
