What then? shall we sIn, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? GOD forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sIn unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But GOD be thanked, that ye were the servants of sIn, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of Doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sIn, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sIn, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sIn, and become servants to GOD, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sIn is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom 6:15-23)
There is no Godly reason to continue in sIn, once we are saved, for we have been delivered from all unrighteousness. We may occasionally commit sin, but we are not to continue in it, nor ignore the conviction of our Lord, but confess and forsake that we may be restored in fellowship. Continuing in sIn, not only continues to grieve and quench the Holy Spirit of GOD that is within us, but also damages our fellowship with the rest of the body of Christ, His Church.
We are free, not to sIn, but to live righteously and in Christ, the life He wants us to live, not for ourselves, but for Him and for others. Our liberty, is not license to sIn, but responsible righteousness in Christ, conformed to the image of His dear Son, with the mind of Christ, and the growth that comes from knowing Him and His Word. We continue to surrender to Him on His terms, just as we did for Salvation, and yield to our Lord and Master, to do His will and accomplish His work in this lost and dying world.
We are free from sIn, and are to no longer submit to that which we used to do when we were un-regenerated sinners with GOD and without hope in this world, but instead, as His ambassadors, we are to live Christ and share His message of mercy and grace to all those around us. We minister to those who are hurting and in need, as GOD provides and directs. We disciple one another in His Word, that we may grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord. We love one another so others will truly see that we are His disciples. We proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, and the forgiveness and reconciliation that GOD gives to those who repent of our sins and put their trust and faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. As we go, we take Christ with us, and tell all who will hear the Gospel and believe, that in believing in Him they might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
