Too often, believers today take grace cheaply, using it as an excuse to act just as they did before they knew the yeshua of our God. They’ll attempt to disqualify the reliability of the Bible, the reliability of translations, the accuracy of interpretation or simply ignoring the passages that convict them of their sin – and therefore, their need for Yeshua – simply so they can keep doing what they’ve been doing without ever repenting.
Whether it’s former Christian recording artist Jennifer Knapp trying to call herself a legitimate believer and a lesbian at the same time, or bloggers who talk about God forgiving their sins whether they’ve repented of them or not, a lot of folks apparently believe that the judgments of God don’t apply to them.
It’s time for believers to abandon the self-deception, put on their big-boy and big-girl boots, and realize that the same Yeshua who said, “I tell you the truth, today you shall be with me in Paradise,” also said, “Go and sin no more.” And far more than even that.

Romans 6:14
Sin shall not be your master because you are not under law but under grace.
Grace was obviously intended to free us FROM sin, not to free us TO sin. Thats the concept according to the Word.
