What is iniquity—and how should a believer respond to sin?

In Romans 6:1–2, the Apostle Paul confronts a dangerous mindset:
“Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.”
Iniquity is more than just a mistake—it is a pattern of willful sin, a bending of the heart away from God’s standard. It is not simply missing the mark (sin), but choosing a direction that keeps missing it.

This message dives deep into the difference between sin and iniquity, exposing how iniquity works beneath the surface—shaping habits, justifying compromise, and resisting conviction.

But Romans 6 doesn’t just diagnose the problem—it declares the solution.
If you are in Christ, you are dead to sin.
Not managing it. Not negotiating with it. Dead to it.

Through the finished work of Calvary, believers are no longer bound to live in cycles of iniquity. Grace is not a license to continue in sin—it is the power to walk away from it.

This message will challenge you to examine your life, confront hidden patterns, and embrace the truth:
You don’t have to keep sinning—you’ve been set free.

🎥 **God Forbid — Stop Missing the Mark**

> Romans 6:1–2 — “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.”

Sin isn’t just doing wrong…
It’s **missing the mark**—falling short of what God created you for.

Remember the rich young ruler—he came to Jesus right, lived clean…
but walked away sad because he wouldn’t release what had his heart.

That’s what sin looks like sometimes:
👉 Not rebellion in action… but resistance in surrender.

Grace is not a license to stay the same.
It’s the power to become who God called you to be.

👉 You can’t keep living in what Christ died to free you from.

🔥 Watch. Reflect. Realign.

Can grace be abused?
If we are saved, does that give us permission to keep sinning?

In this powerful teaching from Romans 6:1–2, we confront one of the most dangerous questions a believer can ask:
“Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?”

The answer is clear—God forbid.

This message challenges believers to move beyond Calvary into a life that reflects the power of the Holy Spirit. Grace is not a license to sin—it is the power to live free.

“Now wait a minute…
If grace covers my sin…
If the blood still works…
If God keeps forgiving…

Then what’s stopping me
from doing whatever I want?”

Paul heard that question before you did…

And when he answered it, he didn’t whisper—
He didn’t suggest—
He didn’t negotiate…

He said: GOD FORBID.

If we are saved, does that give us permission to keep sinning?

“Because of Calvary”

From the dusty hillside of Calvary, we see the suffering of Christ—
the nails, the thorns, the cross…
everything He endured for us.

But what happens when we shift our view?

What if we look at Calvary… not from the ground…
but from the Throne?

This Easter message, “Because of Calvary,”explores two perspectives:
What Christ suffered for man
And what Calvary meant to God

At the cross, love was demonstrated, justice was satisfied, and God revealed Himself fully.

This is more than a story of sacrifice…
This is the place where heaven responded, eternity spoke, and redemption was secured.

Because of Calvary… God is satisfied—and we are saved.
