[size=15pt]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?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?[/size]

the truth is enough for the wise.

1. (Ephesians 2:8-9) - "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, that no one should boast."
2. (Rom. 3:20, 28) - "because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin, 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law."
3. (Galatians 2:16) - "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."

the same bible also says that people are saved by grace alone. . .

Saved by grace

davidylan:

and? What was your point?
We are saved by grace but is it grace that will come and tell you not to steal ur brother's pencil? Romans 6 was simply saying, now that you know you are saved by grace . . . you shldnt take it as a license to steal and abuse such a privilege.

1. (Ephesians 2:8-9) - "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9[b]not as a result of works,[/b] that no one should boast."
