I believe that it is wrong to sin so that grace may abound. I'm getting this from Romans and it confirms that if you preach the grace of God, people might wonder if you're giving them the freedom to sin.
God is love. When you love someone, you are motivated to please them. You sacrifice yourself if need be. That's why you can't be a people pleaser and a God pleaser. You can't serve two masters. The love of God will keep you from sin in your life.
------------------------Next pondering!------------------------
"I'll call you daddy and hug you if you don't hit me tonight." What if you heard a little child say this to their father in the supermarket? How would you react to that?
We do the same with God sometimes. "Will you bless me if I do something really good today?" "I'll tithe if you bless me with this seed I'm planting." "I'll follow you Lord, if you don't let my baby die."
If I had a child and they thought that I wouldn't feed them, or clothe them, unless they hugged me that day, or if they called me daddy, I would be heartbroken. I would wonder why they would think such negative things about me. As if I don't love them and would do all that for them regardless of their actions.
God loves us so much that sometimes the way we approach him, or pray to Him breaks His heart. He loves us way too much to put conditions on His love.
There is always more to write but I hope this was a nice tid-bit of ponderings for your brain :) I'll write some more later!
