🙄 "Sin Less to Stay Saved"??

Recently I’ve seen people quote Romans 6:1 as weak attempt to refute the biblical gospel. In doing so, they really only succeed at showing off their ignorance and pride.

The man who thinks his salvation depends on arbitrarily "sinning less" ignores the context of Romans 5:20: "…Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound."

Grace overcomes sin!

The moment Paul declares grace’s triumph over sin, he anticipates the absurd objection to refute it.

In Romans 6:1, he quotes the slander: "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"

This isn't a warning to the believer; it’s the same lie Paul condemned in Romans 3:8: "…Let us do evil, that good may come…."

The poor lost soul using Romans 6:1 to claim that a certain quantity of sin cancels salvation is just repeating the accuser's slander which Paul rejects in the strongest way possible with “God forbid!” Of course sin is undesirable, and saved people should seek to live holy lives pleasing to the Lord.

We aren’t commanded to mortify sin to stay saved; we fight sin because we ARE saved. We are dead to sin (Rom 6:2) and our old man is crucified (Rom 6:6).

The believer in Christ is eternally secure because HE finished the work, not because of your meager efforts.
