Sin Boldly with Even Bolder Faith in Christ

God doesn't save fictitious sinners.

‘If you are a preacher of Grace, then preach a true, not a fictitious grace; if grace is true, you must bear a true and not a fictitious sin. God does not save people who are only fictitious sinners. Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly. For he is victorious over sin, death, and the world. As long as we are here we have to sin. This life is not the dwelling place of righteousness, but, as Peter says, we look for a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.’

Martin Luther (Weimar ed. vol. 2, p. 371; Letters I, "Luther's Works," American Ed., Vol 48. p. 281- 282)

The degree to which you struggle with the above quote from Martin Luther may be the degree to which you misunderstand the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The more religious you are, the less you may comprehend the Good News of Jesus Christ.

God’s grace is for sinners.

If you do not sin, you do not need the Gospel. You do not need a Savior. You do not need saving.

God only saves sinn…
