For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Sin doesn't get to be the boss of you anymore. You're not living under all those rules trying to earn your way, you're living under grace.
Grace broke sin's power over your life.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Romans to explain the gospel to a church composed of both Jewish and Gentile believers, addressing how faith in Christ transforms lives. In Romans chapter 6, Paul counters the idea that God's grace allows for more sinning by emphasizing that through baptism, believers have died to sin and are now alive to God. He clarifies that they are no longer under the Mosaic Law, which exposed sin and brought condemnation, but under grace, which provides freedom and empowerment.
