What do you think of the phrase that says "Where sin abounds, grace does that much more abound"?

Question

Where can you see this being applied in today's world

Answer 1

The story of the woman caught in adultery is a good example (John 8) . The tendency is for humans to judge and condemn. What is called for is grace (forgiveness) and the encouragement to do the right thing.

Unfortunately these values are seldom promoted. That is why they were and are revolutionary.

Answer 2

It means that "where it is darkest, the light shines the brightest".

Here in Southern California, there is quite a bit of sin that takes place on a daily basis. Very lawless behavior and license to do as one pleases. God has provided quite a bit a grace as well, with some extremely strong and Godly churches. There are many examples like this, all over the world. We could also see this in Acts with some of the cities such as Corinth.

Also, we as individuals, when we come to Christ, some of us are laden with a sinful past. No matter, God's grace abounds in that situation. We can never sin so great to where the grace of God cannot reach us.

Answer 3

Romans 5:19-21: For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, tha the offense might abound. But WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. KJV.

It means no matter how 'bad' a person is, if they accept God's gift of grace, they are saved. No one can be too bad for God to save.

Answer 4

That kid that was kidnapped for 4 years, and was found.

Or, maybe it's one of those things that comes in phases. Sin abounds for a good while, then Grace abounds longer.

Answer 5

This verse means that there is no limit to the ability of God's grace to overcome any sin or trespass we have committed against Him. However, as is also stated, we ought not assume that this fact gives us a license to sin freely without any consequences.
There are those in some faiths who believe that they can sin freely and still depend upon God to "cover their bill" with His grace and love. We ought not see our relationship with the Lord as such, because ANY sin will move us farther away from God; if we continue to sin, we can be moved so far from Him that we will not return. To leave this world in such a state can separate us from God eternally.
