I see you are like a con artist picking and choosing to deceive. So let's read what you didn't believe. You only agree with 12 and 13, There is so much more you missed. Read 1-23
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
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. 18 And having been
set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
This chapter shows that you still have a choice. You still have free will and you can choose sin - but Paul says -
don't choose sin. You've been freed from sin, so why go back to it when you don't have to? I've never wanted to go back. When God spoke to me the first time and I knew He really existed and that He loved me enough to actually speak to me, I fell madly in love with Him. I would no more sin against Him now if you paid me a billion dollars. Besides, not sinning when I don't have to is such a freedom. And the reward is He keeps talking to me and answering all my prayers. Before I heard His voice that night in 1977, not one of my prayers in thirty years had been answered.

@GodsGrace I see you liked Enoch's post. So please read my answer to him. I hope your eyes open to the true meaning of scripture. Enoch still believes false doctrine of demons that contradicts why Jesus came. - To take away our sin and give us His divine nature. 2 Peter 1:2-4. It all has to do with Adam's sin, and undoing the consequences of it. Adam lost his divine nature and took upon himself the devil's nature. Jesus died to undo that so we can live for all eternity with a Holy God, and to do so we must be like Him. Jesus gives us His own nature so we can be.
