Jesus liberates us from our sinful nature, as well as the guilt and shame that comes with it. When we make the decision to follow Christ, we gain a new emphasis in our lives as well as a shift in our inner desires. Our lives are still full of temptation, but a new, more powerful desire pulls us in the correct direction. Our hearts are gradually changing. Our ideas, words, and deeds change as our inner nature changes, and we find ourselves taking the good path more frequently and deliberately.
Paul compared our struggle with sin to a wrestling match or a battle. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power,” he said. Put on the complete armor of Jesus so that you can stand firm against the devil’s schemes” (Ephesians 6:10-11). “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you,” James 4:7 says. Others see the devil as a personification or metaphor for temptation and immorality; in other ways, the devil is a moniker for everyone's natural inclination to rebel against God. It's the internal and external pressure to deviate from God's perfect path. Many Christians believe that the devil is a real spiritual being who appears in the Bible as a tester, tempter, and accuser.
The angel's proclamation that Mary's child will "rescue his people from their sins" is frequently read as implying forgiveness. That is unquestionably included. However, Christ's changing action in our life, which leads us down God's path, strengthens us, and frees us from our sinful nature, is far more significant. When Jesus and Paul talk about being "born again," or becoming a "new creation" in Christ, they're talking about the process of conversion, or being set free from our sins.
I can firmly assert that I am not yet the person I want to be, nor am I the person Christ desires for me to be, but I am not the person I would have become if it weren't for his rescuing grace in my life. Because of Christ, I am a better husband, father, and human being. If he hadn't had such an impact on my life, I would be more giving, sensitive, and empathetic. I'm not as obnoxious as I may have been if he hadn't started saving me. He has previously rescued me from sin and will continue to do so in the future. This is something that everyone who chooses Christ as their Savior will go through. Much of today’s charity, generosity, and compassion may be traced back to Christ’s method of saving his people from their sins. When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we ask for this continual act of deliverance or salvation: “save us from evil,” or, in some modern translations, “rescue us from the evil one” (Matthew 6:13). He saves us from our sinful nature by his witness, love, impact on our soul, and the activity of his Spirit.
