Romans 6:15

Romans 6:15. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?

Oh! this old question keeps coming up. Somebody wants to sin. Well, if he wants to sin, why does not he leave this business alone and go and sin? What has he to do with these theological questions at all? But still, he wants, if he can, to make a coverlet for his wickedness; he wants to enjoy the sweets of the child of God, and yet live like an enemy of God, and so he pops in his head over and over again: "May we not sin because of this or that?" To which the apostle answers again, "God forbid." Oh! may God always forbid it to you, and to me: may the question never be tolerated among us.
