Are Christians on Parole or Fully Pardoned?

In the 1970’s former president Richard Nixon who was known to be
guilty of a crime or crimes was pardoned by President Gerald Ford.
With that pardon Richard Nixon was freed unconditionally, no strings
attached. This is different than when a prisoner is paroled. A paroled
person must report to his parole officer. They are not completely free
to come and go as they please. Their freedoms are severely curtailed
including being told who they can associate with and even what time
they must get home at night. The question in front of us today is “Are
Christians on parole for their past sins or are they fully pardoned?”
The apostle Paul answers this question in Romans 3:21-4:25.
