Paul made it clear that we as believers are not slaves to our sin. Granted, sometimes we struggle against it. Especially when it is something we are really into.
An example of that may be someone involved in an extra marital affair. If that person gets saved and realizes it is wrong, it may take time to overcome the feelings that have come with it.
However, we are no longer a slave to that sin and once we are forgiven by God, it can be overcome. We now identify with Christ's death and resurrection spiritually, because we put to death our old person and are newly resurrected in life.
We are no longer under the law but are now under God's grace. And Praise God for the final verse of this letter:
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 3:23
What we deserve is death!
What we have because of Jesus, is eternal life.!
Thanks for stopping by. God bless!
