“How can I be free from sin?” is the question that in one form or
another is troubling the heart of many a true child of God. But before
we ask “How?” the other query rises, “_Can_ I be free from sin?” and if
not completely in this life, “How far may I be free?”
As is to be expected, the teaching of the Word of God on the sin
question is simple, direct and unequivocal. But there are a number of
misconceptions that have served to confuse the minds of many earnest
seekers after the truth.
One of the best tests of the truth of our view of sin is the results
in experience. It is, however, a blessed fact that one may have an
experience that is infinitely better than the theory he holds regarding
sin.
