what does it mean to live under grace, but not law? romans 6:14

from the reading of chapter 6-7, paul repeatedly emphasizing on the truth that a Cn can't live in sin anymore (having been justified by grace through the redemption that came through Christ), using (parallel examples as) reasons: union with christ, slave/master relationship, and marriages.

once we were living under law, but no longer so after Christ fulfilled the requirements of the law. by grace through faith in Christ, we've been set free from sin (through law, we become aware of sin). instead of bearing the deeds of wickedness when sin is our master, our life should then bear the fruits of righteousness now that we are under grace, being a slave to God.

4So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. 5For when we were controlled by the sinful nature,[c] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. 6But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. (Romans 7:4-6)
