The grace was to grant forgiveness for those who are repentant. Grace will not be shown to those who reject Christ. And, the grace was for salvation, not freedom to sin.
Romans 6:1-2
"6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"
Those who say the sin does not matter because we are under grace are repeating the devil's lies.
Because we are under grace we have the power of the Holy Spirit within us to resist sin and live and grow in holiness.
"In Christian theology, the spontaneous, unmerited gift of the divine favour in the salvation of sinners, and the divine influence operating in individuals for their regeneration and sanctification."
Author Unknown to me.
Someone who says we can sin because of grace defies a whole lo of the bible.
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. 9 Anyone 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.…"
