Today's gospel instalment: 08/27/2023
Text: Romans 7 vs 7-12
Title: 1. Is the Law sin? 2..Sin's advantage is the Law
1..Given what Paul has taught about salvation and righteousness and the believer's relationship to the Law, there has to be objections to be anticipated and to be answered especially from the camp of the "law keepers"..
2..The law "keeper" doesn't understand the function or purpose of the Law..They have used the Law wrongly to make it for establishing righteousness for themselves..
3..They haven't understood that righteousness is of God and is freely imputed apart from the works of the Law.
4..Paul has said, the Law bore fruit unto death because of sin...
5..And now he has to defend that statement and expound the relationship between Law and sin and it is not what many people think abt the Law.
6..The Law sin is the natural reaction/conclusion of many people who are thinking Law as Paul has presented in Romans 7 vs 5 and this from their minds that are NOT enlightened by the gospel understanding? They would come to this wrong conclusion, that equates sin and Law.
7..But Paul said , may it never be, that is not how this thing works..Law is not sin, but it works with sin always ..The Law discovers , revives sin and brings about death..Sin and Law equals death..
8..Sin deceives many to think that they can do the Law, only to discover that the Law brings not life, but death..
9..So, sin takes advantage of the goodness of the Law to deceive them that eternal life and righteousness can be attained by human obedience to the Law..
10..The Law is holy, the commandment Holy, righteous and good and THAT IS THE PROBLEM for the sinner..The goodness of the Law brings bad
