Another thing that accompanies the Death of Christ 1 Pet 2:24-25
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
1 st this is only about the elect of God See 1Pet 1:2 and so Him baring their sins in His own Body, it was in order that, they being dead to sins ! Yes them He died for become dead to sins. Dead to sins in the greek apoginomai:
Now this is strictly in the legal sense, the elect legally have been removed from their sins, a detachment. Remember David said Ps 103:12
12 ;As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
again this is in a legal judicial sense at first.
The same Idea is in Heb 1:3 when the sins of the elect have been purged by the atonement work of Christ and removed the guilt of sin. Remember the word for purge katharismos:
"That being dead to sin"

"That being dead to sin"
Gill writes:
that we being dead to sin; "to our sins", as the Alexandrian copy, and the Ethiopic version read; as all the elect are, through bearing their sins, and suffering death for them, so as that sin shall not be imputed to them; it is as though it never was; it is dead to them, and they to that, as to its damning power and influence; so as that they are entirely discharged from it, and can never come into condemnation on account of it, and can never be hurt, so as to be destroyed by it; nor by death, either corporeal or eternal, since the sting of death, which is sin, is taken away, and the strength of sin, which is the law, is dead to them, and they to that: in short, through the death of Christ they are so dead to sin, that it is not only finished, made an end of, and put away, but the body of it is destroyed, that it should not be served; which is an end subordinate to the former, and expressed in the next clause:
