Romans 6:14 says sin no longer rules over you because you're under grace, not law. The speaker compares a Christian to a foreign embassy: just as an embassy sits on sovereign ground beyond the host nation's reach, believers live on spiritual ground where sin's power doesn't apply.
Romans 6, verse 14 does not say sin will struggle to master you. It doesn't say sin should not master you. It declares— hear me— it declares in the present tense with the force of a governing law. Listen to this: sin shall not be your master because you are not under the law, but under grace. This is a jurisdictional statement, a declaration about governing authority in legal standing. Just as a nation's laws have no jurisdiction over an embassy because the embassy exists on sovereign foreign soil, sin's governing claim over the kingdom citizen has been constitutionally revoked. Because the embassy owns that land that the kingdom citizen dwells on. You are a walking embassy. Therefore, sin has been constitutionally revoked. The citizen has changed kingdoms. Sin's authority does not cross that border. Under the law, sin reigned. Under the law, it reigned. The law defined the transgression, established, and established the penalty, and sin operated as the governing power within that framework.
