Sinning brings destruction to us in this world. Sinning distorts our view of God, others as well as ourselves. Sinning in all it's forms ( such as legalism, deceit, malice and slandering others in the body of Christ is no different then living a homosexual lifestyle ) is falling short of the glory/goodness of God which is sharing in His quality of life.
Sinning is just plain stupid when our minds are renewed to see the effects of it and that we are not under law anymore but under grace alone.
Knowing that we have complete forgiveness of sins because of Christ's blood will always draw us back to Him for life and true living when we have gone our own way.
Does this want to make us go and live in all the sin we want now as the carnal, humanistic mindset of some men say it means? No of course not - a thousand times NO! It makes us run to our Father in every situation to find mercy and grace.
This holds true for the prodigal son as well as the prodigal older judgmental brother. As it turns out they both did not know the true nature of the Father.
The Father in these last days is showing His beloved children the beauty of Christ's finished work in the knowledge of the complete forgiveness of sins and they are coming back to the Father. Let's have the Father meet them at our doors instead of the judgmental older brother.
There is a vast difference between a universal atonement where all are included in Christ's work on the cross and resurrection and universalism - where they say that all dogs go to heaven.
There is an abundance of scripture that shows the truth that all are included in Christ's work and yet people still need to believe to have Christ dwell in their hearts and receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.
People need to believe in His name to receive the forgiveness of sins that is already done because of the blood of Jesus. Acts 10 and Acts 3 show this truth in the real gospel message as preached by Peter and Paul.
We have redemption through His blood - the forgiveness of sins. Eph. 1:7 and Col. 1:6
