I don't think that answered the question. I provided context after it. I guess I'll rephrase it.

Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him."

Is grace a simple offering or is it compelling?
You had originally asked "...how deep does God's grace go?"

I answered with Romans 5:20, which is essentially saying that grace abounds more than sin, and that's a good thing too because without grace we would die in our sins.

I might add also 8:38,39 as a companion reference to complete the thought.

"Is grace a simple offering or is it compelling?"

I'm not sure what that question means, or for that matter what you mean by it necessarily, but I think grace is both.

Paul speaks extensively about grace in all his epistles. Grace is everything. Without grace there would be no salvation nor would we know how to live the Christian life.

There is nothing in the verse of Romans 5:20 that implies a license to sin.

You sound like a really stupid Pharisee.

What is Christian porn? Like, a heterosexual couple in pajamas, sleeping back to back? Sounds kinda boring.
