Does saved by grace mean that we can continue on in sin?
Let's see about that...
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:1-2
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Titus 2:11-12
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? James 2:19-20
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
In conclusion, while the modern church teaches greasy grace in that even if you continue to go on in sin you're okay because you have what is wrongly construed as spiritual fire insurance. The Bible disagrees with this doctrine and states it much differently. If one is saved, truly saved, then he will not continue on in sin purposely abusing the grace of God. Instead he will actually be a new creature naturally and joyfully doing good works that give God all the glory.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
