Like every good debater, the apostle Paul has been building a great argument here in Romans 7 for quite some time. Now, I remind you that Paul had began this parenthesis on account of what he had said in Romans 5:20–21 “Now the Law came in so that the transgression would increase, but where sin increased,…

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.

We all have choices we make in this world. Some choices impact others too. Can you think of a choice that impacted others beside yourself by the choice you made? God gave instructions, man did not follow instructions, man paid the consequences of their choice ( Gen2:15-17 , 3:1-7 , 3:23-24 ) So, please…

Paul has been reasoning out why he not only would not have come to know sin except through the Law, but now he also turns to explain how it arouses sinful passions within us, going yet deeper to reveals just how very awful and dominating sin itself is.

Death is the Way to Life I don’t want anyone to think I don’t think life is valuable. Only God can create life. Anything else is just a pot full of chemicals.
