Wow!

Awesome passage:
Gal 2:19-21
19 "For through the Law I died to the Law, that I might live to God.20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the {life} which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.21 "I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness {comes} through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."(NAS)

Because of Jesus' sacrifice, we are no longer slaves to sin. We are free to do His will. In fact, when we are right with God, we are free to do our will, because God makes our will like His as we grow in faith.

Now I am not advocating "Christian liberty;" being Christian does not mean that we can go on sinning because we will just be forgiven. The Bible actually states just the opposite:

Rom 6:1-2
1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace might increase?2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?(NAS)

What I am saying is that if we live in God's will, we will want to do the right thing more and more.
