There are still some people who have a problem with grace. They think the grace message gives people the freedom to sin. They think people will live an unholy life with the mindset that they’re covered by grace. That’s not the case at all. Grace gives us the freedom of forgiveness if we do sin, but it doesn’t give us a license to sin.

When a person truly understands what grace has made available to us, they won’t want to sin. They’ll have such an appreciation for the sacrifice of Jesus until sinning would be minimal at best.

If someone paid off all our natural debt, gave us a place to stay, and desires to give us anything we’ll need or want, would we dishonor them or treat them poorly? Of course not. Jesus sacrificed His life so that we can have eternal life, abundance, righteousness, holiness, health, forgiveness, and so much more. A true believer will honor God by obeying His word and being led by His Spirit.

Let’s stop telling people they need to live right before they can receive God’s grace or telling people they need to be holy to keep God’s grace. God’s grace is an unearned gift from God if we believe in the sacrifice of Jesus. Only He will determine who truly believes.
‭‭
Romans 3:22-26 NLT‬ We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. ‭For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
