Dying to the Law We finished Romans chapter 6 with this great quote 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We now turn to the central point of Romans 7, the reason why we can't save ourselves, or make ourselves acceptable to God, is that we are in the flesh.

As we turn to consider the place of the law in the life of the believer, it is absolutely vital that we look at Romans 7 within its context of the larger argument that stretches from Romans 5 all the way through to the end of Romans 8.

Anyone can win a soul to Christ. If you have a testimony of salvation and God has changed you and remade you anew, you have something already that you can share with others. But anyone can do it.
