Can the grace of God morph into hyper grace, lawlessness, or license to sin?

Can the grace of God morph into hyper grace, lawlessness, or license to sin?
Of course, grace is not license to sin. Grace cannot become license to sin by itself too. Neither can the love of God become some kind of liberal love for sexual immorality too. However, false prophets in the last days can certainly turn the grace of God or anything from God into something else (just like the Pharisee who turned the laws of God into legalistic rules which oppressed the weak and the poor), probably slowly from grace to radical grace, then from radical grace to hyper grace, to lawlessness, and finally to license to sin. Most radical grace or hyper grace preachers would assure us that this can never happen. They may deny it vehemently but they can never deny what the words of God has said to us. In fact, the warning of false grace or perverted grace has already been clearly written for us in the New Testament, not in the Old Testament. Hence, the warning about perverted grace, hyper grace, or false grace in the last days is still valid and we can certainly preach it as God's warning to the people:

• Jud 1:3-4 KJV  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.  (4)  For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Many radical grace preachers argue that God's people or believers can never turn the grace of our God into lasciviousness; only the ungodly men, non-believers, or other religious people. However, I will ask them, Can the non-believers turn the grace of God into lasciviousness  or license to sin in the churches? No, how can the non-believers turn the grace of God into something else if they do not believe in the grace of God or have the grace of God? Hence, of course, only the false prophets in the churches would be able to turn the grace of God into lasciviousness because false prophets can convince the believers to believe in their lies to depart from all the laws, principles, commandments, and doctrine of Christ, by creating another 'Christ' who has no more law, principle, or doctrine for them.

• 2Co 11:2-4 KJV  For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.  (3)  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.  (4)  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Radical grace preachers today will still argue and say, "No, you have interpreted Jud 1:3-4 wrongly. We believe that the grace of God can never be turned or changed into something else by the false prophets. False prophets or ungodly men can only remove grace and preach the legalistic gospel or the law. We should interpret Jud 1:3-4 as the passage about ungodly men removing the grace of God and teaching lasciviousness, not turning the grace of God into lasciviousness..."
I will ask them, What's the difference between ungodly men turning the grace of God into lasciviousness and ungodly men removing the true grace of God and replacing it with the false doctrine of lasciviousness freedom or ungodly men twisting the grace of God into a merchandise of their prosperity? The Bible did not specify clearly how the true grace of God will be removed or replaced by false prophets, but we know that false prophets will do anything to twist the words of God to preach their 'radical grace', 'pure grace', or 'hyper grace' with lawlessness philosophies, departure from God's commands, or 'nakedness' from the glory of God.


Can the law or the grace of God be turned into a merchandise which will enrich the lawless?
Many radical grace preachers argue vehemently that nobody can turn the grace of God into lasciviousness or license to sin. They said that it won't benefit them for doing so. However, I will tell them, If you are honest, you won't give this kind of lie, promise, or guarantee to blind the people of God from knowing the truth and the warning of God. Otherwise, you are helping the false prophets to deceive the people by making merchandise of them. If the Pharisees could quote from the scripture and turn the laws of God into 'corban' that benefited themselves, false prophets who do not have the Spirit of the law of God would turn the grace of God to profit themselves too. The reason is obvious - the 'grace' business is always bigger than the 'law' business. False prophets are not stupid. Do you think that they would still preach the 'law' business (or the Old Testament laws) to the sinners who are not the Jews? No, they know that most of the Gentiles in the world can never follow the Jewish law or any law. They know that the sinners love lawlessness, lawless thinking, and a lawless God. They know their economy of 'Law demands, grace supplies' and, hence, they will preach according to their 'law of demand and supply' without the law of God:

• Joh 2:16-17 KJV  And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.  (17)  And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
• 2Pe 2:1-3 KJV  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.  (2)  And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.  (3)  And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
• Mar 7:9-13 KJV  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.  (10)  For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:  (11)  But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.  (12)  And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;  (13)  Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

We know that the true grace of God can never be something which will turn into a merchandise or supernatural transfer of wealth from the world which prospers us, enriches us, brings greater worldly favour to us, and gives every disciple of Jesus more enjoyable or effortless life in this world because the words of God is very clear about the true grace of God:    

• 1Pe 5:2-12 KJV  Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;  (3)  Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.  (4) And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away ... (8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ..(9)  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.  (10)  But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. .. (12) By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

But, if we look around today, we will ask, "Why do we still see so many preachers who can turn the grace of God into a favour, confession, revolution, anointing, or something which has truly prospered them and made them very successful? Have we believe the Bible wrongly?"
I will say, I don't like to say it but I must say it - it is not the true grace of God; but something which pleases most sinners who do not like to repent, keep the law of God, follow the doctrine of Christ, and do the words of God. They can prophesy and prosper because they have made merchandise of the people through the selling of their warped messages, lawless philosophies, unrepentant sermons, wrong beliefs, effortless doctrine, CD's, DVD's, books, and TV commercials in the 'house of God' or churches. They have plundered the churches, preached in the churches, hijacked the churches, and taken over the control, because many believers would just want to 'love you, love me, love everyone, love them.. ' They would just want to love everything, including the positive loving messages from the false preachers, instead of loving and doing the words of Christ. Of course, they would like to think that the warning and prophecy of the Lord about the false prophets and carnal believers is no more valid for them in the last days:

• Mat 7:15-23 KJV  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. .. (20)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  (21)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  (22)  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  (23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
• Mat 7:23 LITV  And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!"
• Mat 24:11-34 LITV  And many false prophets will be raised and will cause many to err.  (12)  And because lawlessness shall have been multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold.  (13)  But the one who endures to the end, that one will be kept safe. (14)  And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end...(The Lord did not say that the multiplication of lawlessness or mental philosophy of having no more law will make people become more lawless in their behaviours or criminal activities. However, He said clearly that it will cause many to err and grow cold in their love for God and others. It is clearly the effect of lawless doctrine and lawless teaching; not the effect of lawless violence.)
• Luk 6:46-48 KJV  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?  (47)  Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:  (48)  He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood (false doctrine) arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. (Hence, Jesus said clearly that He would not just want us to have right believing, right faith, right miracles, right preaching, or right confession only; he wants us to have right doing with His words too, because right doing would prove that we are His true disciples on the rock of salvation.)

The warnings and prophecies of the Lord can never be obsolete
From the warnings and prophecies of the Lord above, we know that many false prophets will rise in the last days. They will:

1. remove the warnings, commandments, and repentance teaching of the Lord in the Bible, and
2. cast a 'non-thinking' spell on the minds of the people so that they cannot think.

But please think, If the repentance teaching of the Lord has become obsolete, have all His warnings and prophecies above become obsolete too? No, we know that the Lord's warnings and prophecies are about the end time and the end time is now or in the near future. How can we lie and say that His words and teaching have become obsolete?
In fact, Jesus prophesied that His warnings and teachings would be challenged and twisted by the false prophets in the last days. He knew it, and hence, He added the following words on purpose, after His warning against them, so that they can never nullify His words or prophecies against them. He continued ...

• Mat 24:34-36 LITV  Truly I say to you, In no way will this generation pass away until all these things have occurred.  (35)  The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away, never!  (36)  But as to that day and that hour, no one knows, neither the angels of Heaven, except My Father only. (He said, Never ! It's a double confirmation. None of His words, warnings, or prophecies will pass away !)
• Mat 5:17-19 KJV  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.  (18)  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.  (19)  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Hence, the lack of such teaching in the churches could give rise to more lawlessness or lawless philosophy in the world. And it will make people grow cold. 
• Jesus did not say that we should just teach do's or don'ts of God's commandments; He told us clearly that we should do and teach them ! We don't just teach like the Pharisees or hypocrites; we must do also. That's why Jesus said that we ourselves must do first, then we can teach also. This must be fulfilled and established in the hearts of all His believers who hear Him and who shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven, and this can never become obsolete. However, many preachers today would find that this is still a hard saying for them. Why? It's because if they find it hard to do and teach the words of Jesus themselves, they can just twist and turn the words of the Lord and lie that His sayings and commandments have all become obsolete so that they can continue to live with hidden sins and deceive others that they are still very godly preachers with no more need to do and teach the principles and doctrine of Christ.)

Many radical grace preachers argued vehemently that the law has been totally fulfilled by the finished work of Jesus or that Jesus has fulfilled all the laws of God for us, and therefore, there is no more law left for us to keep. I will tell them, Please read your Bible again. Jesus did not say that He fulfilled the law so that we have no more law to keep. On the contrary, He said that He fulfilled the law so that we can keep the law of God better from the heart instead of from the stone. He established the law of God in the heart of a true believer so that he will do and keep His commandments:

• Rom 3:31 KJV  Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
• Rom 8:4-6 KJV  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  (5)  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.  (6)  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
• Heb 8:10 KJV  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
• Heb 10:9-17 KJV  Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second ... (16) This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;  (17)  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
• Joh 15:10 KJV  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
• Rev 12:17 KJV  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
• Rev 14:12 KJV  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

However, when false prophets come, they will discredit all the commandments of God and gain credit with their own words.


False prophets will subtly, cleverly, and gradually convince many that the warnings and prophecies of the Lord have become obsolete
False prophets will never say it clearly that the warnings and prophecies of the Lord have become obsolete. But they will say it subtly, cleverly, and gradually. How? One of the most obvious way is to keep proving how all the laws of God have become obsolete and useless because of grace. When they could prove that the law of God has become obsolete, naturally they could prove that all the words and teaching of Christ about God's warnings, laws, and commandments would become obsolete doctrine and principles too. Hence, their main revolution is to prove to the sinners and the lawless that there is no more laws and commandments in Christ. When they succeed in doing so, they would not do and teach doctrine, principles, or commandments from Christ. They would attract millions who would not follow Jesus Christ, but their 'christs' or their 'anointed ones'.

• Mat 24:4-26 KJV And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  (5)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many ... (23) Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.  (24)  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.  (25)  Behold, I have told you before.  (26)  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. (Do not believe it even if they tell us that they are in the internet, youtube, or chatrooms ..)

Many may argue that they follow only the gospel that Paul preached, but we know that they are lying. It's because the gospel that Paul preached would never say that the words, doctrine, commandments, and principles of Jesus Christ have become obsolete. 


If we preach the gospel until the people or sinners misunderstood us, we would lead others to sin ignorantly too
Many radical or hyper grace preachers argue, "Yes, we do not deny that there are sinners who misunderstood our message of grace and live in lasciviousness. But we have never told them to sin. We have vehemently preach that people should not sin and cannot sin .."
I will tell them, Yes, you are saying it now. But have you forgotten how you boasted that you must preach the gospel until everyone misunderstood you; otherwise you are not preaching grace?
Recently I read from http://xxxxxx.wordpress.com/2014/06/08/is-grace-a-licence-to-sin/#, which is still accessible and online. Here is an extract of a portion of what he wrote in his belief of radical grace. He said, "What is amazing grace? It means that we will never be held accountable for our sin ever again, because Jesus paid the price  once for all. Amen! We can stumble, we can fall. We can err, we can mess up. We can make mistake after mistake. We can sin. Yet if sin increases, grace increases. How amazing is that?! Does that mean that if we keep on sinning God will keep forgiving us? Yes, it does! Does that mean if we purposefully keep on sinning God forgives us? Yes it does! Does this give us a license to sin? No .." 
 I was not only amazed; I was shocked to hear him saying that they can keep on sinning and God will keep forgiving them, and he thinks that it is not a license to sin? This is a self-deception !
I will ask him, Can you tell a man to keep on raping or killing and God will keep forgiving him? Yes, you can? Does that mean if he purposefully keep on raping and killing and God forgive him too? Yes, it does? And you still think that it is not a license to sin? Something is burnt in your head. Something is terribly wrong in your brain. If someone did it to your loved ones, I wonder if you would still say God will forgive him?      
You have given the false promise, to all those who want to sin, that all their past, present, and future sins would be totally forgiven too. And, therefore, there is no more fear and condemnation to live in sin or listen to your false doctrine. Have you changed your mind now and agreed that no one should preach the gospel of grace until it is misunderstood as license to sin? Yes, I believe that Paul would never preach grace until the sinners or believers misunderstood him too, because he would always preach it with the commandments of God not to sin:

• Rom 6:1-16 KJV  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?  (2)  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (12) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.  (13)  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.  (14)  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.  (15)  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.  (16)  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (17)  But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. (Paul said it very clearly, We are under grace not to obey the law of the old covenant or circumcision; but radical grace preachers today twisted his words and say that we are under grace not to obey all the laws of God. This is false doctrine which rebels against God's words. It is a lawless teaching which will raise up many lawless believers in the churches. When Paul said, God forbid - it means a clear commandment not to live in sins, a commandment not to sin with grace, and a commandment to still honour our parents with grace: (Eph 6:2-3, Rom 13:9-14).  It is still a commandment to obey the ten commandment too.)   
• Rom 8:2-8 KJV  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  (3)  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  (4)  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  (5)  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.  (6)  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  (7)  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  (8)  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (The law of the Spirit and the righteousness of the law will teach us to walk not after the flesh, not to sin, and not to live with the carnal mind. For the carnal mind is enmity against God and against the law of God. Isn't this very clear to us?) 
• Rom 7:21-25 KJV  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.  (22)  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:  (23)  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  (24)  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?  (25)  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. (Paul saw two laws working in him, one is the law of God, which is the law of his mind, the law of Spirit,  but there is another law which is the law of sin, the law of the flesh. What is his solution? Did he say that he would depart from all the law of God? No, he would serve, think of, and delight in the law of God.)
• Rom 13:9-14 KJV  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  (10)  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.  (11)  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.  (12)  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.  (13)  Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.  (14)  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. (Obviously, Paul still taught obedience to all the commandments of God including loving thy neighbour as thyself. If we walk after the commandments of God, we will not fulfil the lusts of the flesh.)
• Eph 6:1-3 KJV  Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.  (2)  Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)  (3)  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 

Hence, it is impossible to accuse Paul for preaching the gospel of grace until it is too good to be true and making everyone, including the sinners, Pharisees, and believers, misunderstood him. Of course, we know that the Pharisees would never accuse Paul because of misunderstanding; in fact, they accused him on purpose.
However, if you preach and tell the people to depart from all the laws and commandments of God, you did not misunderstand Paul too, you could have enjoyed so much lawless philosophies that you begin to develop carnal mind which is against God and against the law of God. You would make all the sinners and believers who never read the commandments of Jesus to misunderstand Paul and go the wrong way.

• 2Pe 3:14-18 LITV  Because of this, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent, spotless, and without blemish, to be found in peace by Him.  (15)  And think of the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him;  (16)  as also in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unsettled pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.  (17)  Then beloved, you knowing beforehand, watch lest being led away by the error of the lawless you fall from your own steadfastness.  (18)  But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
• 2Th 2:3-13 LITV  Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, because that Day will not come unless first comes the falling away, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,  (4)  the one opposing and exalting himself over everything being called God, or object of worship, so as for him "to sit in the temple of God" as God, setting forth himself, that he is God. (5)  Do you not remember that I told you these things, I yet being with you?  (6)  And now you know the thing holding back, for him to be revealed in his time.  (7)  For the mystery of lawlessness already is working, only he is holding back now, until it comes out of the midst.  (8)  And then "the Lawless One" will be revealed, "whom" "the Lord" "will consume" "by the spirit of His mouth," and will bring to nought by the brightness of His presence.  (9)  His coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and miraculous signs and lying wonders,  (10)  and in all deceit of unrighteousness in those being lost, because they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.  (11)  And because of this, God will send to them a working of error, for them to believe the lie,  (12)  that all may be judged, those not believing the truth, but who have delighted in unrighteousness.  (13)  But we ought to thank God always concerning you, brothers, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth, 

Many preachers have only high regard for hyper grace or radical grace; instead of the words of God
They have high regard only for grace. Hence, they will interpret all the words of God with a 'bend' in their perspective of life, thinking that grace is given so that they do not have to keep any law of God, so that they can be saved irregardless of whether they walk after God's commandments or the law of their flesh, so that they can never fall even if they sin like the devils, they can never be reproved by the Holy Spirit when they sin, so that they have no more law or no more need to yield to the righteousness of God .., so that it become so unconditional that they can be totally forgiven without even the need of repentance or any change from sinful behaviour, so that .. etc.They think that they have total freedom from boring repentance or from the law of God; but actually, they are going back to another law which, Paul said, would not and cannot subject to the law of God:

• Rom 6:12-13 KJV  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.  (13)  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. ..(15) What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.  (16)  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Are we under grace so that we have no more law or no more need to obey any law to do or yield to righteousness? No, on the contrary, we are under grace to do and yield more to righteousness.)
• Rom 6:17-18 KJV  But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.  (18)  Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
• Rom 7:21-25 KJV  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.  (22)  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:  (23)  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  (24)  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?  (25)  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. ..   (Rom 8:1) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  (7)  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  (8)  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
