Paul’s Radical Preaching of Grace

To demonstrate how strong and liberating Paul’s grace message was, here
are all the times he had to address this exact concern — that people
might think grace gives a license to sin:

💬 1. Romans 3:7–8 (KJV)

"For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory;
why yet am I also judged as a sinner? And not rather, (as we be
slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil,
that good may come? whose damnation is just."

🔎 Meaning:

People accused Paul of preaching a message that encouraged sin so that


grace (or God’s glory) would increase.

💬 2. Romans 5:20 – 6:2 (KJV)

“Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin
abounded, grace did much more abound…”
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may
abound? God forbid.”

🔎 Meaning:

Paul knew people would misunderstand grace, so he immediately


addressed it: grace isn’t a license to sin but power to overcome it.

💬 3. Romans 6:15 (KJV)

“What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under
grace? God forbid.”

🔎 Meaning:

Again, he tackles the idea that being under grace means we can sin freely.
Paul’s answer? A strong “God forbid!”

💬 4. Galatians 5:13 (KJV)

“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an
occasion to the flesh…”
🔎 Meaning:

You have liberty in Christ, but don’t use it to indulge your sinful nature.

💬 5. Titus 2:11–12 (KJV)

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
teaching us that, denying ungodliness…”

🔎 Meaning:

Grace teaches us to live holy—not to continue in sin.
