Romans 6:15-17
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

The law of grace which now rules the regenerated believer rules out continuing in the very sin we have been delivered from. So if we give ourselves again to sin, we become enslaved to that which was leading to our death by Gods wrath before. This is why we aim to obey to align with Christ’s righteousness. We must obey from the heart, not lip service as before, for that is what we have been delivered from.
