Saul as good knowledgeable Jew was aware of his sin. He thought he was serving God through persecution of Christians, He was willing to be obedient. He just did not know Jesus until then. Act 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me...

Romans 8 :2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. This verse seems to be a stumbling block. There is no law of sin in this verse but that the law shows us our sin and guilt and leads to death as opposed to the Grace of Jesus/ The law...

but we have free will within that prison cell, just little choices. We are "bound" to sin but be less or more degenerate as possible. The will might be limited but it exists. Free will is not to do anything we want or can imagine.
