Romans 5: through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand... Believing in Christ already means that we stand in His grace. Grace being poured out onto our lives does not necessarily mean that we will experience something supernatural. Rather, the faith that we have in Christ is sufficient grace that has been bestowed unto us.
Romans 6:...but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. And this new life has already been poured out onto us. Therefore, we should not offer any part of ourselves to sin as an instrument of wickedness. Rather, our whole body (whole life) should be offered to him as instrument of righteousness.
Romans 7: I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin. I believe that as long as there is constant friction/struggle between the good I want to do vs. the evil that's with me, God will deliver us through Jesus Christ. Otherwise, if we sin and still remain at peace, then we should critically examine ourselves.
