“There are two things that every human being absolutely must come to understand - the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man. These topics are difficult for people to face but they go together: if we understand who God is, and catch a glimpse of His majesty, purity, and holiness, then we are instantly aware of the extent of our own corruption. When that happens, we fly to grace—because we recognize that there’s no way that we could ever stand before God apart from grace.” R. C Sproul
We do not seek a license to sin. We seek the transforming regeneration of our salvation. We are new creatures in Christ, no longer at home in this world but constantly in tension with it. What we seek is for the periods and times of sin to diminish and give rise to spiritual rest as we walk according to the Spirit of our redemption.
