How does grace change our relationship with sin?

Answered in 1 source

Grace liberates believers from the dominion of sin, ensuring that it no longer has power over them.

Grace fundamentally alters the believer's relationship with sin by providing a new standing under God's redemptive authority. Romans 6:14 states, 'For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.' This means that while sin previously governed our lives, grace enables us to live in freedom from its power. It reveals the depth of our sinfulness and leads us to experience true righteousness through Christ. The liberation from the condemnation of sin allows the believer to pursue holiness, not to earn God's favor, but as a response to the grace already received. Thus, believers can live victoriously over sin, setting them apart in their conduct and relationships.
