Christ came to this world to address the effects of sin. In His death, He dealt with the penalty of sin — He died. In His resurrection, He dealt with the power of sin — which is what we are talking about here. In His second coming, He will deal with the presence of sin. Thus we conclude that it is the power of sin that Christ's resurrection addressed!
When Christ rose from the dead, He broke the power that sin held over mankind. He freed His people from its dominion. Such that in Christ, the child of God no longer is a slave to sin and is free to serve God for the first time in his life!

Freedom From Sin The Believer's Passion Bethel Presbyterian Church
“ INTERACT with your LORD! ” What I got from this message is that Christ is not a button to be pushed when we want a blessing -- but He is a being to be interacted with, to walk and talk with just as if He were your sibling, or spouse!!! We are to have an undying passion for this relationship to grow and blossom. There is no such thing as "microwave Christianity"!!!
"The power of His resurrection" does not connote a "name it and claim it " heresy, it is not about speaking in tongue's -- they have ceased! To quote Pastor Thurston "resurrection power references the moral breach with sin that Christ's resurreaction effected on behalf of the child of God."
We are to be radical's in our striving to be free from sin. We are not to make it our passion to not sin very much -- on the contrary we are to make it our passion to NOT SIN AT ALL!
