"...are we to continue in sin that grace may increase?"

Romans 6:1

The faith that saves is not an unproductive faith, but is always a faith which produces good works and abounds in holiness (Eph 2:10; Titus 2:14). Salvation in sin is not possible, it must always be salvation from sin. It would be just as well speaking liberty while still in handcuffs, or boast of a healing while the disease grows worse and worse, or declare war's victory while the men still die and the army surrenders, as to dream of a salvation in Christ while the sinner continues to give full swing to his evil passions. 

 

"...Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?"

Romans 6:1

Remember God gave us liberty not license and while He gives us protection He will not give us presumption. 

"...He fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness..."

Acts 17:31

Be as seeker sensitive as you will, try and be very affirming, be conscious of the self-image of the hearer; in the end the message to a lost world is that God will one day righteously judge all those who reject His warnings.

Adapting the gospel will only cloud the reality. Witness, be instant in season and out, warn them until they realize you are serious and pray the Holy Spirit opens their hearts with repentance.  

"...Christ Jesus; who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds"

Titus 2:14

There are some in the church today who maintain a false thought that redeemed man has two natures, his old existing and operating right alongside his new. They want to give place for the choices the new man makes to commit sins, or solace to one who thinks he is new when he is not and can't explain away his continued life of sin.  They talk of feeding the old or new and having the strongest victorious and such. I have a problem with this theory. Remarkably there are even societies and associations that codify this theory of two natures.

In saving us it was not His end to save us only from God's wrath to come at sin, but to save us from the procuring cause of that wrath; not forcibly and violently to save us, but in methods congruous to the honor of God's wisdom and holiness: and thereby to purify us. That word purify is the operable word. He saved us that we might have a holy nature, whereby we might perform holy actions, and be a zealous of good works and the honor of God as we had been of bad works and the bringing of dishonor to Him.

Realize "If any man be in Christ he is a new Creation..." not one added to his old but dead old and new to the new. This is what Jesus explained so adequately to Nicodemus in John 3. Therefore, when I sin, I do so willfully and to my own peril if it is habitual because it is an evidence then of the reality of the life still lived in sin by that man I claim to have been. I am still then dead in my trespasses and sins and not a new man in Christ.

Don't take today's easy believism as gospel. Instead look to God achieving His purposes, as He always will and making you anew man. 

 

This is a testimony, regardless how you feel about him as a player.

"And the law entered that the transgression may abound..."

Romans 5:20a

A crooked stick may look straight until a truly straight one is laid beside it.  An eggshell looks white until you place it on a sheet of paper. So, the holy and pure law of God. When our eyes are opened in salvation we see ourselves against this background of truth and we know that all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. 

This is for our good, for truth awakens us to the truth of our condition, that drives us to God for resolution and in thanks for His wondrous work. The law has impact for saved and lost. We tend to lean on our own righteousness until we see the truth of His righteousness through a sight of His Law.
