Lesson 11 – Are You Walking in the Spirit or the Flesh?
Question 2
The second way to think about “gratifying the flesh” is not to worry because if I’m saved – it doesn’t make any difference – my sin is already forgiven.
Two: I can DO, DO, DO the sin - Because I have been saved, saved, saved and I do not need to be concerned about my sinning – in fact: Paul addressed this type of thinking several times:
“And why not say, "Let us do evil that good may come"?--as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just. ... (31) Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.” (Romans 3:8, 31 NKJV)
“Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, (21) so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (1) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” (Romans 5:20-21; 6:1 NKJV)
“Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:2 NKJV)
Of course not; God forbid; By no means; Absolutely not; May it never be; let it not be; Far be the thought.
“What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!” (Romans 6:15 NKJV)
“For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” (Galatians 5:13 NKJV)
2. Have you ever thought about gratifying your flesh and thinking that it is all covered by the blood? Picture yourself, standing under the Cross and sinning. What are you about thinking now?

We have a word to define this type of person: antinomian (against law), the license to sin without eternal consequences. They are wrong, wrong, wrong.
