Can Christians live anyway they want to and God will still save them? Jesus gave his life as a free gift but it was not cheap-it cost him everything! As a man becomes a new creature in Christ, the disposition to sin becomes less and less as the Holy Spirit works in that man.

Performance based religion is very different than grace. The idea of following rules to be acceptable to God can define a performance based religion. A religion that requires standards of behavior and the performance of those behaviors can actually run the risk of not having a relationship with God.
