By Christ's passion we have been delivered from sin, in that Christ
inasmuch as He is our head, by His passion which He endured for us
out of love and obedience, as by the price of His passion, redeemed
us as His members from sins. He redeemed us in the same way as if a
man by the good industry of his hands were to redeem himself from a sin
committed with his feet. We are here concerned with the sufficiency of
the Passion as regards all past, present, and future
sins,[1985] but the fruits of the Passion must be applied to us
by means of the sacraments, or at least by implicit living faith in
Christ.
