Personally

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
-First Peter 2:24 (King James Version)

I've been writing a lot about believers having a new life. I really think this is something that we, as believers in Jesus Christ, need to understand and apply. I've said it before, and I'll keep on saying it: Jesus didn't die on the cross, to pay the penalty for your sins, so that you can keep living in those sins. First Peter 2:24 is another example of the truth of that statement.

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." Jesus took your sins, and mine, personally to the cross. Our sins, the very things that separated us from God, Jesus bare on His own body on the cross. He did it so that we can be freed from sin, so that we can live unto the righteous life. A life that God has called each of us to. 

Since Jesus personally took your sins in His own body, shouldn't you take, personally, the new life we are called to live in righteousness? The last line of this verse says, "by whose stripes ye were healed." Jesus was beaten, He was insulted, He was whipped. He did if for you, He did it for me. Through His sacrifice, we are healed from sin. Have you accepted that healing? Think About It.
