Those who teach grace as a license for sin, teach that grace covers you even if you sin willfully against the Lord. They do not touch on the fact that real grace transforms a man so that he does not live the way that he did before. They teach false doctrines such as "the inevitability of sin" and that repentance is not a requirement for salvation. They teach that sinning is of no consequence to the believer; that there are no consequences for sinning against the Lord. They teach that grace is a license for immorality...that anything goes once you are a believer....you can do anything you want. And that this also applies to those who still want to do ungodly things.
I certainly hope you aren't posting this as some sort of representation of what I believe and teach.
The only place I see sin to be inevitable is when we for whatever reason stop living in the sure knowledge of our justification, that is, that we are completely and thoroughly forgiven of all sin for all time. And then, when we start thinking that sin is going to be a problem between me and God, we have moved from the tree of Life to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Instead of living according to the life of Christ, we are now trying to live according to our conscience, or according to some version of law. That's what our conscience is, an imperfect law written in our hearts. But notice in Romans 2, we excuse ourselves and accuse others. We don't have wisdom in our application of law, not to ourselves, not to others.
Living according the knowledge of good and evil is living rating what we do and think, deciding whether we are right or wrong, and trying to amend our thoughts and actions to conform. And when we find non-conformance, we then want to take the next right action, and make it right with God.
Since we've been reconciled to God already, and now have been reborn in His pattern, righteous and holy, trying to serve law is not what is meant for us. The law is given for the ungodly. We are dead to the Law, but alive in Christ. We are dead unto sin, but alive unto God, in Jesus Christ our Lord.
The motions of sin in our members, which were by the law . . .
If we're living that way, as if under law, of any sort, aside from the Law of Love, personally serving Jesus not by a list of commands, but by His working in us, living under law is not walking in the Spirit. It's based on the idea that I'm monitoring myself to keep myself obedient and acceptable to God.
Living that way pretty much makes sin inevitable, because if this describes us, that I'm in any way "keeping myself saved" by not sinning, or, 'not letting sin go unabated for so long that . . . my faith dies / God casts me out / fill in the blank, then I've fallen from grace, and now I'm walking according to the flesh, as if I weren't born again, as if I were still unregenerate.
2 Peter 1
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
The only "inevitability of sin" in the believer's life I find is if and when we might cease to practice an active faith, I think this is best described in looking away from Jesus and onto the waves. And then we have a choice. We can refocus on Jesus, otherwise, we're going to try to find our own way, and that will inevitably lead us to "what should I do/should not do?"
Outside of an active walk in faith, we'll answer that question out of our flesh, according to our imperfect knowledge of good and evil, and what I need to do to deal with this, and then, on the heels of that sin, what do I need to do to fix things with God, and until we get back to life in Christ, we are in the wrong tree.
Much love!
