Sometimes rules are followed because rule-followers believe that the rules are more trustworthy than grace. Those rule-breakers who are breaking a rule because it seems to violate the rule of Christian love have learned to trust Luther’s notion to “sin boldly.” They believe that even when they get it wrong, they are loved and forgiven even so.
