We do not sin more to get more forgiveness. That does not even make sense why that would be okay. Through Christ we can be saved because he took our sin on the cross as if we were on the cross. Do not let your body be a tool that satan uses to turn people to sin. Do not let sin control you! Instead let God control you! Do not be a slave of sin anymore you are free because of the cross.
Do not think "I'm saved I can do whatever I want." Do not obey satan obey God!!

Even though God forgives us offers us righteousness that doesn't mean that we should go on and keep sinning. We have to die to our sin and stop living it, or we are not growing closer to God. Our old lives that we lived in sin are dead and died with him- and now we live for Christ. He did to break us of our sin and now is alive and lives in Glory so we should also consider ourselves dead to the sin and alive in His glory.
We must give ourselves completely to God. That is hard because that requires giving up everything and we are called to be an instrument to do what is right for God whatever that maybe. How Great does it feel to read that SIN IS NO LONGER YOUR MASTER!!!
The wages (that is what we truly deserve) is death, but because the randsom and price has been bad we get to receive the free gift of God of eternal life!!

Don't be that person that sins and does things that someone else does because it's "cool." What?? No ain't nothin cool about that. Do the right thing be a role model. Don't be a follower and do what everyone else does because it's most likely the wrong thing to do!! Do what you think is right stand up for yourself. Like Tanner said you are free because of the cross!

Everyone is making great points. Sin is no longer our master we are "slaves" to God now.
This verse that I looked the most was: "But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life." Romans 6:22
That is someone I want to reflect on today.
