It's not a licence to sin. Rather the gracious love of God sets free from sin:
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because He first loved us.
Rom.6: How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? 3 Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
"Sin does not stop God's grace from flowing, but God's grace will stop sin."

Unique Proof For Christian, Biblical Universalism
Having come to a knowledge of our loving heavenly Father's PERFECT REDEMPTIVE LOVE and how that love means that I WILL at sometime in eternity, obtain union with His Son, which is the goal of our lives and of redemption, I have NO DESIRE to return to the sins that were so much "fun" for me between 18 and 22.
I have tasted deeply of the forbidden fruit and it has left a most distinctly sour taste in my mouth. More than that, by God's immense grace, I have come to see how terribly I hurt so many people by my selfishness. Anyone who has learned in this terrible school through which God allowed me to matriculate would never want to return to sin nor be inclined to ever hurt people again in the manner in which he had done.
