I do stuff I wanna do. Ask for forgiveness. Know I've received it. Record clean. Die, go to heaven. Got away with sinning. Easy. Jesus is just the best.
Ok, so What am I doing wrong here?
Logically? Rhetorically? Morally?
Does this describe you?
People who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth... their thinking became worthless, and their senseless hearts were darkened. (chapter 1)
Not righteous. Without understanding. Not seeking God, but have turned away and become worthless. Don't do what is good. Throat is an open grave (etc.) No fear of God (chapter 3)
What should we say then? Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply? Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? (6:1-2)
Do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its desires. (6:12)
What then? Should we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Absolutely not! (6:15 ... you see, this is where I start to question if you've read Romans)
I could go on, but you are a waste of time. I do appreciate the chance to review these crucial passages though.
