How does grace reign over sin according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

Grace reigns over sin by providing believers with righteousness and eternal life through Jesus Christ.

The concept of grace reigning over sin is encapsulated in Romans 5:21, which declares that just as sin reigns in death, grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ. This illustrates the transformative power of grace, empowering believers not only to overcome sin but to be made righteous in God's sight. Through Christ's sacrificial act, believers receive an abundance of grace that enables them to live in the newness of life, transcending the dominion of sin. Grace does not merely cover sin but produces righteousness and eternal life, thereby changing the believer's standing before God. It emphasizes that salvation is not based on human effort, but solely on the gracious work of Christ, whereby He deals with sin decisively and brings about spiritual renewal.
