Shall We Continue In Sin?

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

The following quote comes from an 1800's book entitled Daily Holiness Textbook:

A question is the strongest kind of an affirmation. St. Paul affirms that God forbids our abuse of his grace to continue in sin. Grace is intended to save us from all sin. Then, by that question " How?'' He as positively and emphatically affirms that it is absolutely impossible that those who are dead to sin should live any longer therein. There can be no stronger word than "dead."

After looking at the video posted yesterday and seeing the effects of "modern Christianity," I can safely assert that we need to go back to the preaching of the narrow way. The way that leads to destruction is broad, but narrow is the way that leads to life. The woman in the video yesterday is on the broad path. We must do our part to reach them with the truth of the Gospel. May we be faithful.
