If God's grace covers all of our sin, then why should we even bother to pursue holiness? If God is going to forgive us
anyway, why not just keep on sinning? In Romans 6, Paul answers this question by telling us that sin is completely inconsistent with our new identity in Christ. Sin is destructive and tyrannical, and Jesus died and rose again to set us free! We are no longer under sin's power, and we no longer have to experience sin's
consequences.
Instead, we can choose the much greater path of obedience to God's way of living, which results in the kind of life transformation and hope that all of us long for.
