Well then, 

since God's grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? 

Of course not!

Don't you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? 

You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. 

Thank God! 

Once you were slaves of sin, 

but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you.

 Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.

Romans 6:15-18 NLT

Does that mean I'll never sin again?

Of course not!

There's been a status change - I'm no longer sins slave, and I'm free to follow Jesus, to keep stepping towards being the person He envisions for me (see Eph1:4).

I'm no longer bound to sins ideas, but free to embrace God's ideas. He is Love and Light so I get to embrace those ideas and ways of being in the world.

I now have a way forward, a way out when the pressures of this world, the desires of my own heart, the lies of the enemy push in. 

Made righteous.

And choosing righteousness in our everyday choices.

In the freedom that we have in Jesus

Maybe theres some self talk that can come to an end.

Some doubt that can be put down

Something to step away from...and something that the Spirit is prompting you to step towards...what opens up?
