“No Sin Allowed”

“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means!”
[Romans 6:1-2]

It is godless reasoning to say: “if our sin praises the mercy of God, then let us sin.” God does not want or permit this. Nor does He prescribe for you a rule according to which you may sin with impunity. He does say that He does good for the sake of sin. It is one thing to do good for the sake of sin, it is another to give to those when sinning. God hates sin. He forbids sin. Do not think this way.
