The people on the island of Crete, they were abusing the grace of God. They said, “Since we’re saved by grace, we are free to live in sin if we want to.” Paul has a great deal to say about that. He says that grace saves us and he's going to say that it lays down certain disciplines for our lives. You cannot use the doctrine of the grace of God to excuse sin. If you think that you can be saved by grace and live in sin, then you are not saved—period. Because if you've been saved by the grace of God, it leads to a godly life.
