Grace is Not Permission

About this episode
What does it really mean to be free from sin? Many people misunderstand grace, thinking freedom in Christ means sin no longer matters. But the Apostle Paul teaches the opposite—grace does not remove responsibility; it changes our master.

In this episode, we explore Romans 6:14–23 and Romans 7:7, where Paul explains the contrast between slavery to sin and slavery to righteousness. Sin promises freedom but pays wages that lead to death. God, however, offers a gift—eternal life through Jesus Christ.

We’ll also address the purpose of God’s law. Paul asks a powerful question: Is the law sin? His answer helps us understand that the law reveals sin, but Christ delivers us from its power.

This episode will help listeners see the difference between earning death through sin and receiving life through grace, and how true freedom in Christ leads to a transformed life.
