Shall We Sin Under Grace? GOD FORBID! (Rom 6:15), part 1/4

Send us Fan Mail“Shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace?” Romans 6:15 asks the question people still dodge, and Paul answers with zero hesitation: God forbid. We slow down and take that verse seriously, because a clean understanding of it clears up years of confusion about salvation by grace, Christian obedience, and what real freedom actually means.We start by backing up to Romans 6:14 and the theme of dominion. We talk through what it means to be moved from one governing realm to another: out from under sin’s mastery and into the reign of grace. That transfer shapes how we think about assurance, condemnation, and the fear that a believer can slip back under the old ruler. If the wages of sin is death, what happens when sin is no longer your master? We trace the logic Paul is pressing and why he treats “under law” and “under grace” as opposing realities that don’t blend.Then we tackle the common shortcut: “Grace means the rules don’t matter.” We contrast Romans 6:1 with Romans 6:15, showing the difference between a settled course of life in sin and isolated acts that get excused as “no big deal.” We also define “under law” as a covenant that demands perfect obedience and condemns every transgressor, and “under grace” as unmerited favor through union with Christ that not only pardons but also provides the power for sanctification, holiness, and good works.If you’ve ever wondered how grace can be free and still produce real change, this conversation is for you.
