Shouldn't we sin as much as possible?

Question

If Jesus died for my sins then I should sin as much as possible so his death isn't meaningless, right?

Answer 1

We may as well make the most of it.

By the way I think it goes like this:

"Christ died for our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?"

Answer 2

No. It is an entire mis conception of the many that more you sin more the grace. It is much like what Paul puts in Romans (6:1)**. Then again the passage from Hebrews is more compelling. We cannot treat the sacrifice of Jesus contemptiously.


Heb 10:28 Anyone who disobeys the Law of Moses is put to death without any mercy when judged guilty from the evidence of two or more witnesses.
Heb 10:29 What, then, of those who despise the Son of God? who treat as a cheap thing the blood of God's covenant which purified them from sin? who insult the Spirit of grace? Just think how much worse is the punishment they will deserve!
Heb 10:30 For we know who said, "I will take revenge, I will repay"; and who also said, "The Lord will judge his people."
Heb 10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
Heb 10:32 Remember how it was with you in the past. In those days, after God's light had shone on you, you suffered many things, yet were not defeated by the struggle.

**Rom 6:1 What shall we say, then? Should we continue to live in sin so that God's grace will increase?
Rom 6:2 Certainly not! We have died to sin---how then can we go on living in it?
Rom 6:3 For surely you know that when we were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, we were baptized into union with his death.

Answer 3

Tell you what, I'll give you an answer from the Bible.

Romans 5:20  Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21  That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:1  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Answer 4

Jesus Christ died for your salvation; not your sins. There is a huge difference. Sin is wrong; salvation is the price for the sins, He died for as a price. We are forgiven when we trust and follow the direction of the Holy Spirit. Choose wisely; and reap the reward; choose incorrectly and lose what has been given to your freely.

Answer 5

Revelaton 21:8 should give yo the answer to this, also Revelation 20:verses 11-15 which is the judgement of the unsaved. Good luck in your search for the answer to this question. Roamans 6:23

Answer 6

A good example of why 'once saved, always saved' is a croc! Eat your bread, ask for forgiveness, and get on with life. But if he hasn't died for your sins, drink the wine, get drunk, and enjoy what is left of your life...

Good Christians sin daily, anyone who says differently is simply wrong.

Answer 7

No, although you can get into Heaven with sin, the more you sin, they more stinky will be up there. This means the stinkiest people will get last class tickets to sporting events and other stuff that involve crappy seating.

Answer 8

False. Sinning more breaks Jesus heart just as much as his death on the cross. Nice repayment for his sacrifice.

Answer 9

There ya go... sin and sin and sin and sin... but don't forget to accept Jesus when your done so it can all be washed away...

If only it worked that way in our legal system... boy oh!

Answer 10

Not true. He died so that we may be forgiven, but God orders us to repent, to turn away from sin. We will never be perfect like God is, but there is a HUGE difference between being forgiven when you make a mistake, and purposely doing something wrong.
