If we are truly in Christ, the idea that we can sin because we are not under law but under grace is utterly irrational, because to have Christ as one’s master means that you love what Christ loves and you hate what Christ hates. For the Christian, righteousness is now our great desire and goal. Thus, we will not see God’s grace as an invitation to sin because sin is the antithesis of what we now desire most. We desire to be holy. We desire Christ’s righteousness. And the result will be our growing sanctification.
