I was told that Romans 6 proves that sin no longer has power over us, in the sense that we don't have to obey its impulses. And so, we are set free from sin, meaning we no longer have to obey our inward cravings. All we have to do is "apply this scripture by faith" in order to live in victory over our sins. And so, this is called "walking by faith, not by sight", for sight tells you that the sin within you has power to make you act, but faith regards us as being dead to sin as true and acts like it is, even if it doesn't feel like it. The continuing of this sort of walk is the working out of our salvation that God has worked in us, and is our job to do. And, by doing such, by applying the promises by faith, we are sanctified.

Is this view correct?
