It's a question many Christians ask, though few do so out loud.
Is obedience optional?
If we are saved by grace through faith, and not by good works ... if we know that we will be acquitted on the day of judgment because Jesus died for our sins ... if we already have our ticket to heaven ... then does our behavior really matter? Of course it will please God if we obey Him, but will it really cost us anything if we don't?
You may be shocked at the Bible's answer to that question. It's in Romans 6:15-23, which we will be studying together in this message.
