Romans 6:1-2 states that believers should not continue to sin because they have “died to sin” through their union with Christ.
The passage argues that since a believer has been spiritually united with Christ in his death, it is impossible and illogical to continue living in sin.
Verse 1: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?” This verse poses a rhetorical question asking if the abundance of God’s grace justifies living a life of sin.
Verse 2: “God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” The answer is a resounding “no,” and the reason is that Christians are no longer under the dominion of sin because they have died to it, symbolizing a new, righteous life through Christ.
*TO CONTINUE IN SIN UNDER THE BANNER OF GRACE, IS EVIDENCE NOT OF SALVATION BUT OF DECEPTION*
Titus 2:11-12 states that the grace of God has appeared to offer salvation to all people, and it teaches us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions.
It further instructs believers to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, as this is a result of the grace of God working in them.
*God’s grace brings salvation:* The passage begins by declaring that God’s saving grace is available to everyone.
*Grace is a teacher:* This grace is personified as a teacher that instructs people on how to live.
*The teaching of grace:* The lesson from grace is twofold: to say “no” to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to say “yes” to a self-controlled, upright, and godly life.
*Living in the present age:* This teaching is to be applied to how believers live their daily lives in the current world.
*GRACE DOES NOT TEACH INDULGENCE, GRACE TEACHES DENIAL*
Grace does NOT produce licentiousness. Grace produces RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Grace does NOT whisper compromise. Grace commands GODLINESS.
Therefore, anyone who claims grace but continues in Fornication, Adultery, Drunkenness, Clubbing, Filthy Entertainment, Covetousness, or Rebellion against God’s word *IS NOT A POSSESSOR OF GRACE* But a PROFESSOR OF IT. (profess meaning claiming it with their mouths).
They possess demons and are controlled by them. They have not received grace. HE HAS RECEIVED A LIE.
He may wear the name Christian, but *HE HAS NEVER BEEN BORN AGAIN.* For if any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things have become new. Read 2nd Corinthians 5:17.
Where there is No Newness, there is NO SALVATION.
Where there is No FRUIT of Holiness, there is NO ROOT OF GRACE.
*WARNING* ⚠️ *GRACE IS NOT A BLANKET COVERING REBELLION, IT IS A POWERPLANT OR GENERATOR PRODUCING HOLINESS*
If you have taken grace as a licence to sin, you are deceived.
If you continue in your worldly ways while professing the name of Christ, you are deluded.
REPENT!!! Before it is too late.
The grace you think you have is not grace but a lie. *RUN TO THE TRUE GRACE OF GOD THAT TEACHES HOLINESS, PURITY, AND GODLY LIVING*
