As a Believer, Grace has been taken out of context. Grace is just unmerited favor. But people like to use grace to keep on sinning, it is a very dangerous teaching. Grace is not get out of hell free card. I understand grace is to help me overcome sin and be more like Christ. I recommend reading 1 John because it is very important to overcome sin in these end times.

This really changes my life after I realize I have been struggling with sin. I have learned that it is through the love of Christ that I overcome sin. The Bible says His love covers a multitude of sins. His love helps me to realize that I need Him more and I can’t do it with my flesh. So I ask for forgiveness and by His strength, I shall overcome sin and within a few months, I am free because I stay focus on Jesus. Grace is for those who want to get out of sin, not a license to sin continually because those who practice sin shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (Galatians 6:1 ASV)
"Any trespass". There is no sin that we as believers should not be confronting head on.
This letter though is written to the church. We have a duty to go out and preach on the streets. However, rebuking sin should be confined to those that are of the body of Christ.
The only ones that should confront sin, are those who are spiritual. In other words, those that have overcome sin in their own lives and who are actively walking in the spirit.
The person doing the confronting should be doing so gently. Only those who are spiritual and who have struggled to overcome sin will be gentle and compassionate with a sinner. He would have understanding of what the brother or sister's struggle and often failings. They understand that small victories are victories.
The one confronting should be as diligent in the confrontation in the other person as he is in confronting sin in himself, as he too could be tempted in the same sin he is confronting in the other person.
This is a practice not so often done in our churches these days. If it was done in our churches, we would likely be so much better off in terms of our witness to the world.
This confronting of sin should be seen as the highest form of love as it can be received in the harshest ways by those being confronted. Nobody likes to told they are doing wrong, No body wants to be told they are doing wrong and they must repent. Our self-righteous, proud selves do not like to be stepped on like this.
Two Ways to Live? As Christians we should be building each other up in the faith. Encouraging each other. Sometimes this may mean confronting sin in someone. Let us be careful to do this biblically and carefully. So that we do not come across as arrogant or proud. Lest we too fall into the same sin.
Father, forgive us for not doing as your word instructs us to do. Help us to do what is right. I also ask that you give us wisdom to know how to tackle any sin, either as we see it in ourselves, or as we see it in others.

How to Overcome Sin & Bear Fruit | Eric Gilmour [Galatians 5]
The Bible teaches us how to live free from sin &
walk like JESUS in Galatians 5:16-25 we see three
keys that help us understand the spiritual life
that is living in victory over sin and
becoming like JESUS v.25 there's this
interesting statement Paul says
if we live by the SPIRIT
1.] Awareness of SPIRIT's Presence
This is life received on the inside, this is being
born again; he who has the SON, has life.
If you don't have the SPIRIT, you are none of HIS
—it is the SPIRIT coming in on the inside born of
HIS SPIRIT washed in HIS blood.
This SPIRIT gives life & so if we have that
conviction, the SPIRIT bears witness with
my SPIRIT that I'm a child of GOD.
that I live by the SPIRIT that knowing that
conviction knowing that I have been born
from above.
He says if you have that, he says then walk by
the SPIRIT—he actually says in v.16 as well
if you walk by the SPIRIT you will not carry out
the desires of the flesh which shows us some-
thing that you've been born from above, and
the SPIRIT lives on the inside.
That is the convicting presence of CHRIST.
The presence of the SPIRIT in your life, HE says:
if you live by walking is a term used in Scripture
for your life. John says I have no greater joy than
to see my children walking in the truth.
It has to do with the way you live your life, so
Paul is saying you have a conviction that you've
been born from above—live in that conviction
of HIS presence.
if you live/walk by the SPIRIT you will
not gratify the desires of the flesh or
carry out the desires of the flesh which
shows us the desires of the flesh is to
walk your life by a lack of awareness
of the presence of the ONE WHO is
inside of you
So if you live by the SPIRIT & you don't walk by
the flesh, you will carry out the desires of the
SPIRIT—so live by the SPIRIT.
Stay in that living by the SPIRIT, by
walking aware of the presence
you are convicted by is in you..
by being born again
2.] New Covenant Freedom From Law
Praise GOD & then lastly he says if you are led
by the SPIRIT, you are not under the Law which
obviously under the Law means required to
keep these commandments.
If you break them, there's a curse upon you
that's been eradicated by the new covenant
—which is the covenant of the SPIRIT
HE puts HIS SPIRIT in our hearts.
This is the new covenant, but even more so
the new covenant of the SPIRIT makes us
above the Law
—which means you don't just not envy, you
don't just not lie, you don't just not commit
adultery..
You don't have those things in your heart any
more—in other words your heart is living
above those things.
• It's such a higher degree
• It's a newness of life
This is being like CHRIST because the SPIRIT of
CHRIST—on the inside of you, is causing these
things.
Love & joy not just theologically actually,
experientially love & joy & peace & patience
This comes from being led by the SPIRIT which
has to do with yielding to the internal guidance
& impressions of the presence you're aware of
• that you've been born again by
3.] Three Ingredients for Victory
So three things the Bible shows us about living
in victory over sin, and walking like JESUS if you
live by the SPIRIT—that conviction you've been
born again from above:
[a] walk by that conviction
[b] walk by that awareness of HIS presence
& we will not carry out the desires of
the flesh & lastly
[c] yield to all the impressions of that
new nature on the inside of you & you'll
live above the Law with love/joy/peace
& patience/goodness/kindness/faithful
-ness/gentleness & self-control
The Bible teaches us how to live in victory over
sin & like CHRIST again we're all growing in this
We all desire to walk this way.
So may grace come upon us to live this out & not
just know it—but actually to have its reality in our
lives by the person of the SPIRIT having all of our
attention.
us yielding ourselves to HIM that's the key
This is the spiritual life
GOD bless you guys
Galatians 5:16-25 | Keeping Your Nose Clean
¹⁶ So I say, walk by the SPIRIT, & you will not gratify
desires of the flesh. ¹⁶ But I say, walk by the SPIRIT,
& you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
¹⁷ For the desires of the flesh are against the SPIRIT,
& the desires of the SPIRIT are against the flesh, for
these are opposed to each other, to keep you from
doing the things you want to do.
¹⁸ But if you are led by the SPIRIT, you are not under
the Law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident:
sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, ²⁰ idolatry,
sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, and
rivalries, dissensions, divisions, ²¹ envy, drunken-
ness, orgies, & things like these.
I warn you, as I warned you before, those who do
such things will not inherit the Kingdom of GOD.
²² But the Fruit of the SPIRIT is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
²³ gentleness, self-control; against such things
there is no law.
²⁴ And those who belong to CHRIST JESUS have
crucified the flesh with its passions & desires.
²⁵ If we live by the SPIRIT, let us also
keep in step with the SPIRIT.
“For we know the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.” Romans 7:14
Being an overcomer of sin through the Holy Ghost is like a lifeguard saving a struggling swimmer from drowning; the Holy Ghost can come to our rescue if we seek Him and rely on His power to help us overcome our sins. Through sin, our lives can become cluttered with various difficulties that seem insurmountable. But…
