What is the vehicle by which we gain freedom from sin?

It’s faith, a faith that at no time includes a law except for the inner-man law of faith in Christ. We are set free to serve Christ when we are dead to all outer-man requirements. To review:

--By dying to sin, we are released from the law 7:6
--For apart from law, sin is dead 7:8
--Therefore do not let sin reign 6:12
--Sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire 7:8
--For sin shall not be your master, for you are not under law, but under grace. 6:14

When we list the requirements for becoming like Christ, we make it harder for that believer to live in His miraculous power.

"You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen away from grace." gal 5:4

Looking forward to feedback!
