Jesus bore our sins on the cross not so we could remain in them—but so we could die to them and live for righteousness. 1 Peter 2:24 reminds us that by His wounds, we are healed—healed from the deadly disease of sin, and empowered to walk in newness of life. This lesson unpacks the transformative power of Christ’s death: how He healed our deepest wounds, freed us from sin’s grip, and calls us to a life marked by righteousness. Dying to sin is not a one-time act—it’s a lifelong journey of becoming more like Him.

Since the fall, mankind has exchanged the truth of God for lies—worshipping the creation instead of the Creator. From idols of silver and gold to self-worship and nature adoration, people chase what is seen and forget the One who made it all. But God is not silent about this. His Word shows us that creation worship leads to judgment, while true worship of the Creator leads to life. Jesus died to free us from these empty pursuits and restore our hearts to the only One worthy of worship—our Creator and Redeemer. In this lesson, we see that Christ’s blood redeems us from idolatry so we can live in joyful, wholehearted devotion to the God who made and saved us.
