The Incarnation of Christ (God became flesh, God with us, God in Christ) and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in Christians are Divine and Miraculous works of God, in which Divine nature and human nature are joined together. This is what makes it possible for anyone to be saved from all sin.
Jesus delivers us from the penalty and the pollution and the power of sin (Jesus saves His people from their sins, He cleanses us from all sin).
Salvation from sin is a gift of God to whosoever believes (denies himself, takes up his cross daily and follows Jesus). Salvation is, "Christ in us, the hope of glory."
Jesus came, lived, died, rose from the dead physically, ascended to the Father to make intercession for us continuously, and sent His Holy Spirit to indwell, cleanse, fill, and lead us in victory over sin and temptation.
Living victoriously over sin is not human accomplishment, but it is God, Who always causes us to triumph in Christ.
