"Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace" (Romans 6:14).
God sent his son so that Grace would set us free from the requirements of the law (Romans 8:2-3). We are free from the law, we live under the freedom of God's Grace, v.14. So are we free to sin? Yes, Grace abounds much more than sin (Romans 5:20-21).
But what fruit did we get from sin? When we were slaves to sin we were free from righteousness (Romans 6:20), but the law entered so that the offense might abound (Romans 5:20), and the wage for this offense is death (Romans 6:21;23). The fruit of sin leads to death.
Grace is the law of freedom, it frees us from the law and sin, "for sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace" (Romans 6:14). Through Grace we no longer let sin reign in our mortal bodies, presenting our bodies slaves to righteousness,v.19. This fruit leads to sanctification and its end eternal life, v.22.

Just as Christ died we too are baptized into his death, and just as Christ was raised again, we too must also consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:4;10-11). "But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code" (Romans 7:6).
