Is Grace a License to Sin?

I recently have heard people say things like "too much grace in not good", that it will encourage people to sin and not hold them accountable. Has it ever occurred to you that there is sin going on everywhere anyways? Even with or without grace on the table. I recently had a preacher tell me that a grace doctrine is just an excuse to allow you to do whatever it is people want to!! Can you believe this??? Have you ever noticed that the greatest treasures are always surrounded by the most obstacles. That the greater the prize the greater the price will be. Call it a coincidence or the enemy trying to deceive us. I believe the enemy is working very hard to confuse us and separate us from the truth of grace in order to slow down our great commission. Well I believe God is raising up and entirely new army of leadership that will live and lead by grace and excellence. An army of people that will achieve abundantly, lead many and heal multitudes. The more of us that understand that the Law is about deserved favor (when you obey) and grace is undeserved favor. We will be blessed by believing on him.
John 1:17 kjv "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus" If the Devil can keep you under the law he can keep you defeated!!!! Romans 6:14 "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace". this means the more grace you receive the more power you have to overcome sin"
However I have seen a lot of leadership react to seeing sin by teaching even more law. That is like adding more fuel to the fire because the strength of sin is the law.. Sin is strengthened the more law is preached. They are trying to manipulate us by saying that even though we are saved we have to keep doing right in order to be righteous and be blessed. Righteousness is a gift! If it has to continue to be earned how could it be a gift?? There is nothing you can do that will make God love you more and there is nothing that you can do that will make God love you less!!
Let me be clear that a life of sin will ultimately lead to defeat and destruction. But it will not lead to a separation from Gods love! Our goal is the same, but the question at hand is how do we live a victorious righteous life? Some think it is by living more by the law but Jesus said it is through having a relationship with him.
I truly believe that as people begin to comprehend this incredible gift, his sacrifice on the cross and his unconditional love we will be moved deeply to fall more and more in love with him and thus live a better life." The more we know we are loved and never judged the more loyalty and commitment we feel.
Embrace this my friends, let this resonate in your hearts and souls. Do your own homework and seek only Gods truth. How do you think your father wants you to live, sad and defeated or elated and victorious? The answer is clear and simple
