Romans 6:15

15 What then [are we to conclude]? Shall we sin because we live not under Law but under God's favor and mercy? Certainly not!

    

I absolutely love this verse. Two thousand years ago Paul was dealing with the same responses that religious people give today when we tell them just how free that we are in Christ. I hear this all of the time, “You mean to tell me that I can go kill someone and still be saved?” I love to freak people out and say yes, without any hesitation whatsoever. The glorious Truth is that in Christ we are now free from all law. Because of what Jesus did for us we are free from don’t eat pork and don’t kill. 

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

When a true born again person hears the Truth that we are now free from all law, they rejoice and realize that it is not a license to sin, but it is power to be used by our Father to serve as our Lord serves. We now have the Mind of Christ and we ever live to be a benefit to others, not a hindrance. All things are now legitimate to us, but through the power of the Holy Spirit that strengthens us, we are not drawn to or attracted by all things. Salvation has set us free from the power of sin, the penalty of sin, the pleasure of sin, and the presence of sin. This is the glory that we now have in Christ. 

We may not fully understand this freedom, but I have never met a true Christian that doesn’t welcome it. It has been born into us to desire the freedom that Jesus came and secured for us. When a person hears the Truth and then they desire or believe that they can now freely sin, is a true sign of where that person is. There is no condemnation, it is just a realization that there is a really good chance that they have not yet been empowered to accept the Truth that will set them free. They may very well be chosen to be the Bride and just don’t know it yet. They may be called to be a guest of the Bride. But amen, either way, they will one day come to know the glorious freedom that our Father has given to all of us through Christ.
