If you're a Christian, you're already standing in grace, according to Paul's epistle. Not with hatred or disapproval, but with love, affection, and delight, God looks down on you. He has already declared that God loves you and that God has shown his love for you by sending his son to die for you. When we were powerless, sinners, and enemies of God, not when we were handsome or intelligent. He has declared that if we put our faith in Jesus, we will be safeguarded from God's wrath in the future, and that we can be sure we will be in heaven. He tells you that you are on the winning team, that you are standing in grace, and that you are loved by God.
So when you give your life to Christ you are then dead to sin, but you are alive to God!
We are still tempted to sin, despite the fact that we have been set free from sin's power. Satan is well aware of our shortcomings and uses them to tempt us away from God. "It doesn't matter if you have a few too many drinks," he entices us, "no one will mind." "It's fine to have immoral thoughts about that woman since no one else knows and you're not hurting anyone," or "It's permissible to have immoral thoughts about that woman because no one else knows and you're not hurting anyone." And the Devil works by instilling in our brains the belief that "if you don't give in to the temptation, you'll miss out...“Why should everyone else have all the fun?” says the narrator. He tries to entice us back to our old ways.
And we're meant to act and live as though we've died and been raised from the dead. This is what it means to live the resurrection life because we now live under grace rather than law. This means that we can say no to sin and yes to serving God by remembering who we are. When you are united to Christ, you become a new person. Only if we trust in what Christ has done and unite in his death and resurrection can we have this new life. Jesus invites us to come to him and put our faith in him, promising that he will help us live this new life. Allowing this reality to sink in, of who we are in Christ, and what he has done for us, is crucial, what he has done for us, and what it means to be dead to sin, and alive in Christ, choose eternal life not death, Amen.

Don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. (Romans 6:4-5)

As a Christian, we are dedicated to a different form of life after having died to the old life, a life of sin. As a result, we must acknowledge that our old immoral life is no longer alive, and this is what provides us with a great motivation to fight sin. Why would we want to return to the old life now that it is dead and we have been set free from sin?
