What does the Bible say about living under grace?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that living under grace means being transformed by the Holy Spirit to live for God's glory, not indulging in sin.

The Scriptures affirm that living under grace does not provide a license to sin; rather, it signifies a fundamental transformation of the heart. As illustrated in Romans 6:15, the Apostle Paul clearly states that we should not sin simply because we are not under the law but under grace. This new life is characterized by a desire to live according to God's commandments, motivated by love for Him. The true believer, having received the Spirit of Christ, is called to reflect this transformation in daily life, desiring to honor God in every action.

This foundational change, described in Romans 8, indicates that believers are no longer primarily driven by fleshly desires but are empowered by the Spirit to live in a manner pleasing to God. The believer's attitude is one of devotion and commitment to Christ, which goes far beyond mere obligation; it's rooted in a genuine relationship with Him. Therefore, living under grace distinctly shapes how a Christian responds to sin, pursuing holiness while relying on the sufficiency of Christ’s finished work instead of self-justification through adherence to the law.
