How do we know grace defeats sin?

The concept of grace in the believer's life is critical for understanding sin's defeat. Romans 6:14 asserts that 'sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law, but under grace.' This signifies that grace, unlike the law, which exposes and condemns sin, provides the believer with a means of overcoming sin through forgiveness and enabling strength. When believers fully accept and trust in Christ's grace, they experience a transformative power that leads to holy living. This grace doesn’t lead to licentiousness but rather to deeper obedience and submission to God's will, as the believer grows in their relationship with Christ.
