So since God's grace has set us free from the law, does this mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! Don't
you realize that whatever you choose to obey becomes your master?
You can choose sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God and receive his approval. Thank
God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you have obeyed with all your heart the new teaching God has given you.
Now you are free from sin, your old master, and you have become slaves to your new master, righteousness.
Romans 6:15-18 NLT
