Antinomianism (No Law) This is the lie that because we have grace, we can live however we want.
“who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify for Himself a special people, zealous of good works.” (Titus 2:14, MEV)
Misusing grace – as a license to sin. The term “license” is used to describe a misuse of Christian freedom, where individuals believe they are free to sin or live without moral accountability because of God’s grace.
“6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may increase? 2 God forbid! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1–2, MEV)
In reaction to antinomianism, some go too far the other way—relying on rules and rituals for righteousness. But legalism lacks grace and leads to pride or despair.
“yet we know that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. Even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ, rather than by the works of the law. For by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.” (Galatians 2:16, MEV)
