Shall We Sin Under Grace? GOD FORBID! (Rom 6:15), part 3/4

Send us Fan MailIf grace is really free, why do so many Christians live like they are on probation? We go straight at one of the most emotionally loaded questions in Christian theology: can you lose your salvation, and what does Romans 6:15 actually mean when it says we are not under law but under grace? Our push is simple but sharp: grace does not weaken holiness. It breaks sin’s dominion and changes what we want, which is why the idea that grace “encourages sin” exposes a misunderstanding of what grace accomplishes in the soul. We talk through the two ditches people fall into: legalism that tries to gain or keep God’s acceptance through stricter obedience, and antinomianism that treats mercy like permission to ignore God’s commands. Along the way we connect justification, sanctification, and the new birth, and we explain why Spirit-produced fruit is not a performance metric for “fruit inspectors” to wield as a weapon. We also address the fear behind losing-salvation teaching and why it turns the gospel into something that no longer feels like good news. A key thread is imputed righteousness: if our sin is truly placed on Christ, then Christ’s obedience is truly credited to us. There is no halfway version where Jesus “did most of it” and leaves the rest for you to finish. That kind of message either feeds pride or produces despair, and it distracts from the power of real Christian freedom: we resist, we submit to God, and we grow in holiness because we have been made new. If you have ever felt trapped between rule-keeping and reckless “grace,” this conversation is for you.
