How does the concept of grace relate to our struggle against sin?

Answered in 1 source

Grace empowers believers to resist sin by assuring them that they are no longer under its dominion, enabling a life of righteousness.

The concept of grace is pivotal in understanding our struggle against sin. Romans 6:14 encapsulates this by affirming that we are no longer under the law but under grace. This grace is not a license to sin; instead, it equips us to resist sin effectively. The deeper we comprehend grace, the more we understand that sin’s hold on us has been broken through Christ's work on the cross. As believers, we are called to reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive to God, which empowers us to live in righteousness. Therefore, grace not only liberates us from condemnation but also transforms our desires, leading us to choose holiness over sin.
