A sinner rejoicing in His abounding grace!

"Lord Jesus, I sin.  Grant that I may never cease grieving because of it, never be content with myself, never think I have reached a point of perfection. Kill in me all that is displeasing to You, all that is contrary to the spirit of love and holiness!  And though we ever mourn for our sin, grant that we would also always rejoice in Your abounding grace!"

Yay! God's grace is free. I don't have to be perfect. Now I can do whatever I want and still go to heaven!

You better "police" yourself. Here is the Word:

Romans 6

"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it…

…Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace…

…For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
