-Sinning to Get More Grace
Hebrews 12::1-2

"Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?"
--(Romans 2:4) -

IF God uses our sin for our good and is glorified when we cherish Christ in our weakness, shall we sin so grace will increase? That's a great question. The apostle Paul answers that one for us..NO! We must certainly try hard not to sin, and do everyting that we can to keep God's perfect law. Yet, when we sin, grace does abound.

Sometimes we are so afraid of abusing grace that we fail to celebrate grace in its rich and endless supply. The harder you try not to sin, the more you will begin to see your helplessness and the more you will adore Jesus Christ and His obedience in your place. In all of your trying and striving, you will fail often because though sin has no power to send you to hell, God has left it to indwell you, humble you, and point you constantly to your Saviour.

Sin seems to have great power to mess up our lives, doesn't it? Every day we suffer the consequences of our own bitter thoughts and evil deeds. Always remember that God is sovereign over the messes of your life.

If God's love shown to you in the life and death of Jesus doesn't melt your heart and incline you to obedience, then the law never will.
