That's a good question Lostsheep. The way I look at that is "the spirit is willing, but the body is weak" kind of idea. I'm learning that the things that are attractive sometimes go against what God is telling us to do. In those cases I'm learning to depend more on God and not myself. I see sinning more just so God can show more grace as not the way to show my appreciation for God and what's He's done for me. We don't sin more so grace can abound, "Be it not so!" or "Heck no way" as Paul sort of said. I don't want to slap the Lord in his face like that and that's the way I see it.
