People often say that grace encourages people to go out and sin.

That is a lie.

People never needed grace as an excuse to go out and sin.

But they sure need grace to constrain them from sinning.

You see, the freedom to sin without the fear of God’s wrath is freedom from the sting of sin, which is death.

Your sins are not an issue with God, but they do have consequences.

I am free to sin, but is it a good idea to sin just because I can?

If sin was an issue with God, none of us would ever be clean enough to approach Him as our Father, and none of us could have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.

The only people that fear judgment and wrath are those that are still trying to obtain righteousness through works and not faith.

When you apply law and judgment to your actions, you strengthen the hold of sin in your life.
