As a result of our liberation from sins's dominion our affections are no longer enslaved to worldly desire. Our wills are enabled to prefer spiritual good. We are motivated to live in accord with the law of God and not the law of self. Christian life is characterized by growth and holiness, not perfection Finally, the Christian's walk will neither be marked by complacency towards sin, nor spiritual perfection. No, the true Christian will walk through this world in a fight against sin, not just in others but in himself.
Depravity remains a reality for believers - all too real in our thoughts, words, and actions.
But God has broken the dominion of sin by uniting us to Christ, given us the Spirit to empower our obedience, given us His Word for an unchanging standard of righteousness, and filled our hearts with a desire for His glory and eternal fellowship with Him as our goal. Sin will not have the last word.
