Freedom In Christ;Freedom From Sin

Galatians 2:
4 Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in--who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery--
5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
Romans 6:14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Paul is speaking positionally throughout all of Romans, specifically chapter 6. He never taught progressive sanctification. Freedom!

John 8:
34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.
35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.
36 So if the Son sets you free you will be free indeed; (the elect).

The Lord also speaks on the same terms. Freedom!!

Romans 6:

22  But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.

23  For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 17:

1  When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you,

2  since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

3  And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
