11 - What does being 'dead to sin' mean?

In this episode of One Basics, host Johan explains the concept of sin and human nature. He says that people are born with a sinful nature because of Adam and Eve, but through Jesus' death and resurrection, believers are given a new nature. Johan encourages believers to turn to God—not away from Him—when they sin. He emphasizes that there is no condemnation for those in Christ, and understanding this is essential for breaking free from ongoing sin.
