Though sin and grace have separate chapters in most systematic theology texts, I’m convinced they are so closely related that we can’t understand one without the other.

Liberty And Grace

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Mar 20, 2023

Does grace mean that we are free to do whatever we want, even sin? Let's see what the Bible says about this in Romans 6.

There is a certain group of Christianity today that says that since we are under grace, we are free to live however we want, even if we live in sin. In other words, grace allows you to live in sin!
