How does grace change a believer's relationship with sin?

Grace fundamentally transforms how believers interact with sin. Before knowing Christ, sin had dominion over them; they were unable to resist its pull. But through grace, as Romans 6 emphasizes, believers are no longer under law but are alive to God in Christ. This grace enables them to recognize their new status as dead to sin and alive to righteousness, allowing them to actively fight against sin instead of being passive victims of it. Consequently, sin's power is diminished, as believers realize they are equipped to pursue holiness.
