Does Jesus Want Us to Sin More, that He May Show More Grace?

[mythociate]

God forbid  But should pastors be worried that some of the flock might get that message from Jesus' call to meditation here?

[JediJohnnie]

Paul makes it clear to all in Romans 6:

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?  Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—  because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Huh??? Jesus said go you are forgiven... But sin no more... So what are you talking about?

The Scripture I pointed you to (Matthew 9:13) where Jesus said

go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance
