Because Jesus has become propitiation for our sins, satisfying God's wrath and giving us his perfect righteousness, we are set free from the power and rule of sin. Therefore, since sin has no power over us, we have the ability to resist it, and as God's redeemed people we have the responsibility to resist it. Not only that, but we are to present ourselves to God, giving ourselves to the pursuit of him and to obedience to his will. We have been taken out of the dominion of sin and are now under the dominion of grace.
