You are in Christ: When you feel defeated and ensnared, like you are never going to get over this particular sin, habit, or hang-up; when your enemy accuses you, and your heart tells you to retreat in shame, you can rehearse and remember, “I am in Christ. I am one for whom he died.” The work of Christ sets you free from sin’s penalty. So rather than turning away from God, you can turn toward Christ precisely when you might be tempted to hide from him.
Psalm51
