Because we were unable to fulfill the Law, Christ died for us. Even though we were sinners, Christ died for us. If God was willing to do this, give up His Son, then what would He not do for us? Paul hopes for us to understand that we are not slaves to Law and to our sinful nature. If we choose to accept Christ and live according to the Spirit we will still sin because we are human, but we will also realize the freedom and peace that comes from being a child of God.
We are not yet redeemed, that is our hope. And we wait for that day of redemption when we can be truly revealed as sons of God and heirs alongside Christ. Until then, we are weak and we must strive to allow the Spirit to drive us and not our sinful nature. The great thing is that the Spirit will help us through this. The Holy Spirit is our helper, and part of that help is interceding on our behalf so that we can turn from our sinful nature. God is always working for the good of the believers.
