For those who say sin doesn't matter anymore after one is born again, that because we are under grace we can freely sin without concern for it. Please read your Bible, what you preach is the opposite of what Christ taught and why He died. You must repent from this devilish thinking. We know that anything opposite of what God says is coming from the mouth of the devil, the whispers in the ears that are no different from what he told Eve in the garden. He told Eve, "you can be like God, He is not telling you the truth, you will not die if you disobey Him."
We were not given the grace to sin, but to become born again, grace allows us the strength through Jesus Christ to condemn sin. The Law Giver lives in born again believers, they never justify sin. The Law was given to convict the world of sin when it has done its job those who repent will confess their sin to be cleansed of it. You will find no verses in the Bible that teaches us sin is alright under grace.
Romans 6:1-13 "6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?
4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,
6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
7 for he who has died is [e]freed from sin.
8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him.
10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,
13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
Those who use grace as an excuse to endorse sin in others or indulge in it themselves are propagating a lie from the mouth of the devil. One who adamantly defends sin cannot be born again.
1 John 3:7-9 "…7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.…"
The one who defends sin is practicing sin!
It is one thing to sin, confess to be cleansed and choose never to do that sin again. Its quite another to defend that sin as though God doesn't care if we sin.
God disciplines believers who sin because He hates it. His desire is to bring the born again believer back to obedience. No born again believer will remain comfortable in sin, they will be convicted by the Holy Spirit and eventually confess to be cleansed and turn from it. Believers are compelled to leave sin, they are never comforted in their sin.
Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises everyone He receives as a son.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"
1 John 1:9 "9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
