God is love.
What wonderful grace..
We will study this for eternity..

Rom 6:15-16
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Gods Grace is not an excuse to sin.

We freely obey because of Grace. It is not a burden or hard thing. Love motivates us to obey.

Jas 2:10-12
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

It is the law of liberty that we keep by grace through faith.

Thanks to grace we are free from sin.

Free because we are Justified and sanctified by Christ.

I love Jesus to much to think sin is a small thing. Or to continue in sin that grace may abound..

1Jn 3:4-6
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1Jn 5:3-4
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

"Free from the penalty of sin", as long as we are in these bodies of flesh we will still sin. we will repent until the First resurrection.

My comment

The term "under the Law" means; all, every last one of the human kind are "under" sentence of death for the transgression of the Torah.

All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God and are "under" the penalty of death.

It does NOT mean, as most want it to mean, we are no longer "Subject to the LAW". No obedience is required

If that were so, then repentance would no longer be something we must do..

With out law listing what sin IS THEN no sin is possible.

And if Christ had abolished the Torah, why then did He die? With out Torah and the Commandments how would sin be possible.

as Paul clearly stated: Romans7: 7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
