What are the objections Paul anticipates in his teaching?

Answered in 1 source

Paul anticipates objections regarding sin and grace, emphasizing that true believers cannot continue in sin because they are united with Christ.

In Romans, Paul anticipates various objections to his teachings about grace. One such objection is the notion that if grace is abundant, then one might continue in sin without concern. Paul refutes this by asserting that those who are genuinely united with Christ in His death cannot live in sin. He addresses this with the truth that a transformation occurs in the believer's heart, leading to a life marked by righteousness rather than rebellion. This theological perspective reflects a central tenet of Reformed doctrine, which sees true regeneration as producing genuine faith and sanctification, thus abolishing any idea that grace gives a license to sin.
