Does Too Much Grace Lead to Sin?
August 2, 2023
Summary
Does too much grace lead to sin? Quite the opposite, actually. It is the preaching of Christ that leads to repentance. The right division of the law and the gospel--and the heralding of the mercy and grace of God--produces repentance in the saints. These things build a culture in a local church where it is safe to confess real sin. All of this fosters real sanctification. Jon and Justin talk about this on today’s episode.

Hi, this is John.
Today on Theocast, Justin and I answer the question: Can you really emphasize grace too much?
Does grace lead to licentiousness?
Does grace lead to sin?
This is really a valuable conversation because I know there's a lot of people who are trapped in between this argument.
And so we try our best to be gracious and kind and even open to reason, thinking through the arguments.
And I hope and I pray you find some solutions to the answers.
We provide a lot of scripture references in this podcast.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.
Conversations about the Christian life from a reformed, pastoral, and confessional perspective.
We here are trying to clarify the gospel today and reclaim the purpose of the kingdom.
And I am with in person in Asheville, North Carolina, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church, Justin Perdue, one of the hosts of Theocast.
And myself, I'm John Moffat.
I'm the pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
I think it's safe to say that we are both weary pilgrims.
