What does the Bible say about Christ being the minister of sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible strongly refutes the notion that Christ is a minister of sin, emphasizing that salvation through Him does not encourage sin but transforms believers into new creatures.

The concept that Christ could be seen as a minister of sin is addressed in Galatians 2:17-21, where it is made clear that seeking justification through the law rather than by faith in Christ is a fundamental misunderstanding of the gospel. Paul vehemently argues against the idea that grace promotes sin, stating that believers are to live in the righteousness that Christ provides, thus they cannot continue in sin without contradiction. In Romans 6:1-2, Paul asks rhetorically if we should continue in sin for grace to abound, to which he responds, 'God forbid!' This highlights that true faith in Christ produces a new creation, fundamentally altering a believer's desires and actions, leading them away from sin rather than towards it.
