Why should Christians regard themselves as bound to any sort of moral law? After all, the full defeat of sin has been accomplished in Christ. And our personal salvation is by grace alone. So why, being set free from the law, would one choose to still to obey it?

The texts for this sermon are: Romans 3:19-26 and 6:15-23 (NRSV).
