While sin no longer holds power over us, we're still prone to sin and we do sin, which is what I believe you meant to say.

I meant to say what I said. We are free from the law of sin and death. Sure we sin, but so what. If we confess it, we're cleansed. Beats the alternative!


Not quite reflective of the Apostle Paul's view ...
Romans 7:21 So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law;

23 but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.

24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

Keep reading....the next verse has your answer. It’s not quite so ‘doom and gloom’ you know.
