How do we know that sin shall not have dominion over us?
Answered in 1 source
Sin shall not have dominion over us because we are not under the law, but under grace, as stated in Romans 6:14.
The assurance that sin shall not have dominion over us is rooted in the truth that believers are not condemned under the law but are instead under grace. Romans 6:14 clarifies that while we are still susceptible to sin due to our flesh, the legal demands of the law no longer condemn us because our sins have been imputed to Christ. This means that Christ has taken our punishment and provided us a new status before God. Thus, our motivation for living a godly life is not fear of the law, but a response to the grace we have received through Jesus Christ. The dynamic of living under grace empowers us to overcome sin, as we rely on the Holy Spirit to help us walk in our new identity in Christ.
