It is precisely because God’s grace is “hyper,” “radical,” and limitless that I would never want to abuse it. Many people caught up in the modern church of Galatia can’t wrap their heads around this. Radical grace produces radical change of mind. Don’t believe that’s biblical? Just ask Jesus:
Luke 7:47 (BSB): “Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
The woman loved Jesus not because fear forced her into obedience, but because grace awakened love in her heart. That’s the contrast between the Old Covenant and the New: fear-based striving versus love born from forgiveness.
Behold, the old has passed away; all things have become new.
