Romans 6:1

1 WHAT SHALL we say [to all this]? Are we to remain in sin in order that God's grace (favor and mercy) may multiply and overflow?

    

For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. 1 Corinthians 2:16

We now have the mind of our Lord. We have been empowered to think exactly as Jesus thinks, which is exactly how our Father, Who is God, thinks. When our Father first began to show me just how successful Jesus was and just how powerful His grace is, I never for one second thought, “great, now I can go sin!” The Truth that was shown to me through our Father’s Word was freedom. I was finally set free from all of the worry and burden of messing up. Jesus came and gave us His very own peace, John 14:27. Jesus doesn’t take any thought whatsoever about sin in His life and now through what He accomplished on the Cross, we don’t have to either.

All things are legitimate [permissible--and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life]. 1 Corinthians 10:23

  

This verse shows us the complete and absolute freedom that we now enjoy in Christ. We can do anything and still be one with Him. Yet, we don’t do just anything that we want to, because we now have the Mind of Christ. We are now one with Jesus, so we think as He thinks. We ever live to serve others as our Head ever lives to serve others, Hebrews 7:25. We rejoice in our freedom from sin, not in our freedom to commit sin. 

So the next time you share one of these scriptures that clearly tell us that we can do whatever we want and a religious person asks you: you mean I can go kill someone? Tell them absolutely you can. It will blow their minds. Don’t water down the Truth of grace. Tell them amen, that is just how glorious our Father’s grace is and that is just how successful our Lord was! We can be so bold because there is no fear in the perfect love of our Father, 1 John 4:18. We do not have to be timid when we talk about our Father’s grace, because we fear that someone will go kill someone or do some other bad thing. We know that Jesus is always our Head and if a person is truly saved and one with Jesus, they will always have Him being greater in them, than anything that is in this world. 

However, their will always be wolves in sheep’s clothing. They will go and intentionally sin and then blame you for causing them to do it. It happens to me all of the time. Rejoice, because they would have done it anyway. And preacher’s, I have news for you. If you are always telling your congregations what to do and not do, they are going to do the opposite of what you tell them when your not looking. The Truth sets us free and the Truth is that it is always what Jesus is doing through us and for us, not what we do on our own. Grace is so wonderful and it is the only way that we will ever live and act like our Lord and Savior.
