Sermon: 6/21/26- Wednesday's Devotional

Grace Is Not a License
Reading: Romans 6:1-14

"Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means!" Paul's emphatic response challenges a dangerous assumption: that God's grace gives us freedom to sin intentionally. The Israelites couldn't claim ignorance—they had the covenant. We can't claim grace as permission—we have the cross.
Grace isn't cheap. It cost Jesus everything. When we treat grace as a "get out of jail free" card, planning to sin and then ask forgiveness, we trample the Son of God underfoot and insult the Spirit of grace. True grace transforms us, empowering us to live differently, not excusing us to live carelessly.
Examine your heart today. Are there areas where you've been presuming on God's grace? Where you've thought, "I'll just ask for forgiveness later"? Genuine repentance means turning away, not planning your next offense. Let grace fuel obedience, not enable rebellion.
