“For the life of me, I will never understand how people conclude that just because we are not under the Law any more, Christians think that gives them a license to sin.”
Scripture shuns the idea of license, but hardly obsesses over it to the degree lordship/works salvationists do. No one can pull the wool over the LORD’S eyes anyway, right?
“You have done these things, and I kept silent;
you thought I was just like you.
But I will rebuke you
and lay out the case before you.”—Psalm 50
and
“...no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”—Hebrews 4:13
Someone accused Paul of teaching, in effect, “And why not do evil that good may come?” (Romans 3:8). He denies it, but note that he WAS accused of it. Won’t believers who stand for the same Gospel be thusly accused?
Basically, we are no longer obligated to try to keep a Law that nobody could keep in the first place.
