From the power of the death of Christ, which serves not only to procure pardon of sin, but likewise healing of sin, for his blood is offered up as a ransom for sin, well then it is pardoned, but it is not only so, but it is a means to kill and mortify sin, Rom. 6.6. there is a destructive power to kill sin, as well as meritorious power to pardon sin; now his death is said to mortify sin in us.
