Romans 6:15 : What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid. As Paul proceeds with his argument in this letter, he anticipates and meets arguments or objections that might be presented by Judaizing teachers. Since we are under grace, not law, someone might contend that this would give us liberty to go on sinning. But grace to forgive our sins and to help us overcome sin is not license to indulge in sin. Grace does not grant indulgences. Grace does not give license to indulge in sin, but grants to us a way of escape from sin. The gospel teaching that we are not under law, but under grace, does not give liberty to continue in sin. Certainly the gospel of God's grace, which is God's power to save people from sin, would not encourage people to sin. Besides, those who think that the gospel teaching concerning law and grace gives license to sin overlook the fact that there is a principle of serv-ice involved. Whose servant are you? Whom do you serve?
