Romans 6:22-23
22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Free at last! This freedom from sin’s dominion makes us God’s slaves, willing bond servants working out - not for - our salvation. The fruit we then bear changes us more over time as we conform to the image of Christ in holiness while we run the race towards life beyond the grave and on into forever with our great God and Savior. We once earned death from God’s face by sin, but now have been given what we cannot earn nor lose in Christ as we gaze into His face. So we are His eager bond servants of righteousness, living to honor, please, and glorify the one who bought us at such a price, that for which we could never pay nor earn. Grace gives freedom.
