How do we know grace does not excuse sin?

The concept of grace in the biblical sense is not about excusing sin but provides a pathway to forgiveness for those who humbly acknowledge their wrongdoing. The sermon emphasizes the distinction between forgiveness and excuse. Forgiveness recognizes sin's weight while choosing not to hold a believer guilty due to Christ's sacrifice. In contrast, an excuse tries to provide justification for the sin. God desires that we acknowledge the weight of our sins while resting in the assurance of His grace for forgiveness without misrepresenting it as a license to sin.
