‘Christ Does Not Encourage Us To Sin.’
Galatians 2:17.
a) True Believers are Justified and seek to be Justified by Christ.
b) We are still sinners but we are Saved by Grace.
c) Christ does not encourage us to sin.
d) We shouldn’t even think about that.
(Through this QT I know that Christ Does Not Encourage Me To Sin)

‘There Are Times We Need To Hide.’
Isaiah 26:19-21.
a) Isaiah 26:19. We Believe in a joyful Resurrection for those people who are True Believers.
b) Isaiah 26:20. There are times when God’s Wrath is being poured out that we need to stay at home and shut the door until the episode is ended. Afterward we can help people with Mercy Ministry.
c) Isaiah 26:21. There are times when the Lord comes out of His Place to punish those people who live on the Earth for their sins. (He normally uses nature to do this, eg: Earthquakes; tsunami; volcanoes; floods; drought; etc.). These environments often cause people to turn to the Lord.
(This Second reminds me that There Are Times When I Need To Hide)

Chris.
Christ does not encourage us to sin. Sometimes I meet Believers who, because of their besetting sins or bad habits, say that they are only sinners, still sinners. This is true in that we are not yet fully Saved in Heaven. Christ, however, does not encourage us to sin. We are sinners saved by Grace and our deepest longing and desire should be to live Holy lives for the Glory of God.
