If the entire world is using grace as a license for sin, continue to rest in, hope in, trust in, celebrate, speak of, grace.
Too often we see grace being abused, and we shrink back from celebrating it and trust in it and hoping in it as much as we should. We fear we might become just like them.
Ultimately THEY strand accountable before God for their abuse of grace. Shrinking back from grace isn't going to prevent them from sinning, and it's not going to prevent you from sinning. So keep trusting in it.
Grace saved you, and it will keep you. Before you give up resting in grace because of your on going struggle against sin, make sure you are trying to defeat sin with grace. Maybe you're trying to win the battle with law and self effort.
Yes, grace is not license to sin, but anyone truly resting in grace, will not treat grace that way. You can't let fear prevent you from relying on grace 100%. Shrinking back from grace, and relying on condemnation, law, and self effort will truly put you in, and keep you in bondage.
Keep trusting in grace.
