The Apos tie Raul, by divine inspiration, as sures believers that the Lord Jesus Christ has "delivered us from the wrath to come." He refers, of course, to deliverance from the penalty of sin. But iri other passages he de .ares that we are also delivered from the potter of sin. In Col. 1:12, 13. for example, he gives thanks to God "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.'' This deliverance, and the glory of our heavenly position and blessings, we may enjoy experientially now, by grace. Rom. 6:14 says: "For sin shall not have dominion over you. for ye are not under law but under grace." This does not mean that it is not possible-far the believer in Christ to sin, but rather that it is possible in any situation, not to sin. Thus the same passage in Romans goes on to say that we should not yield ourselves as ser vants to sin, but to God. who. in grace has broken sin's power over His own.
