Sure...but we don't go back to the law because someone might sin in grace... we don't beat the whole flock because of a few stray sheep or goats sneak in. If believers know the life in the Spirit they will resist the flesh, not because of fear but because of love. We don't do good things for our family because we are afraid we will be punished if we don't...we do good things because we love them. Love is always greater than fear.And not to mention that this is why God uses chastisement....he will whip the sons and daughters that he receives and the loss of reward is also implied and directed at the children of God who will sin repeatedly (concerning habitual sin)......the bible is clear!
