The theology presented in Paul's Romans 678 centers around the concept that those who have faith in Christ are united with him in his death, burial, and resurrection, which results in a transformation of their desires. Paul does not argue that saints must make a choice between good and bad actions, as if it were a decision between two alternatives. Rather, he suggests that believers experience a new reality that governs their behavior. This state of being is characterized by complete sanctification, where the power of sin is eradicated, but containment of sin still exist in the body and impact both the physical and spiritual aspects of the saints. Essentially, there appears to be a contained entity residing within the believer.The concept of righteousness carries significant weight in our lives; however, sin continues to persist as a dominant force. As evidenced by the verse mentioned earlier, this highlights the contradiction between our inherent righteousness and the crucial task of overcoming the putting sin to death by the curse, which persists despite our best efforts to eradicate its impact.
