No Longer Slaves To Sin But Set Free To Serve God

Sin is no longer to be your master, for you are no longer subject to the law, which enslaves you to sin. Instead, you are free by God’s grace. ROMANS 6:14

QUESTION:  Since we have been set free from trying to keep the Law of Moses by God’s  unconditional forgiveness and grace, does that mean we can go on sinning?

The Wages Of Sin = Death;  The Gift Of God=Freedom From Sin

Sin pays a wage  -  God’s judgement and eternal death. God’s grace gives you a free gift  -  eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ who died and took our sins on him. ROMANS 6:15-23

Human beings, made in God's image, reflect his tripartite nature by consisting of three distinct, but indivisible, parts -

•  BODY (our physical characteristics)
•  SOUL (our mind, will, &  emotions)
•  SPIRIT (our conscience and the part that comes alive at conversion).
