Truth #7
Our Savior "condemned sin
in the flesh," conquering the problem for the human race. He
forever outlawed sin in the vast universe of God by defeating it in its
last lair—our fallen, sinful human flesh. Because of Him, there is now
no reason for any human being to go on living under the frightful
"dominion" of sin. Sinful addictions lose their grip if one
has "the faith of Jesus."

"[Christ] has made and consecrated a way by which, in Him, every
believer can in this world, and for a whole lifetime, live a life holy,
harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and as a consequence be made
with Him higher than the heavens. . . . Perfection, perfection of
character, is the Christian goal—perfection attained in [not of!]
human flesh in this world. Christ attained it in human flesh in this
world, and thus made and consecrated a way by which, in Him, every
believer can attain it. He, having attained it, has become our great
High Priest, by His priestly ministry in the true sanctuary to enable us
to attain it" (The Consecrated Way, pp. 83, 84). ( Ellen
