(Romans 7:1-25)
I. Introduction
A. Salvation by Grace through Faith produces FREEDOM FROM SIN
(Romans 6:1-23).
1. Man was the SLAVE of SIN (Romans 6:16-18)
2. But, when he OBEYED FROM THE HEART, he was made
FREE FROM SIN
3. And, he became the SLAVE of RIGHTEOUSNESS
B. The Roman Christians had:
1. DIED to SIN
(Romans 6:1, 2)
(Romans 6:3, 4)
(Romans 7:1-6)
3. Death breaks the marriage bond between husband and wife. The
Christians death with Christ broke the bond which formerly
Yoked him to the LAW!
E. NOTE:
(Romans 7:4)
4. Paul would NOT have known SIN except through the LAW
(Romans 7:7). BUT, WHAT LAW is considered here?
5. THE LAW THAT SAID, THOU SHALT NOT COVET
(Romans 7:7). The Old Testament Law that included the TEN
COMMANDMENTS! See also II Corinthians 3:7-18.
6. How does this PASSAGE show us that the SABBATH DAY LAW
Is NOT a part of the NEW COVENANT of Jesus?
III. The Awakening of CONSCIENCE and Recognition of SIN
(Romans 7:7-13)
A. Note: It was through the LAW that SIN BECAME KNOWN to Paul
(Romans 7:7; 3:20).
B. Paul would NOT have known what it means to COVET unless he had
learned the command, Thou SHALT NOT COVET! (Exodus 20:17;
Deuteronomy 5:21).
C. There was a TIME in PAULS LIFE when he WAS ALIVE APART
FROM LAW (Romans 7:9).
1. This can only mean that Paul was ALIVE spiritually when he
WAS A CHILD!
2. Then, the commandment of God entered into his consciousness,
he violated that command and he DIED (Romans 7:9, 10). SIN
SPRANG TO LIFE and Paul DIED!
3. What does this say ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF A
LITTLE BABY OR CHILD?
D. But, the LAW that brought about his spiritual DEATH when he sinned,
was truly HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, and GOOD! (Romans 7:12).
E. Here, Pauls autobiography is the biography of Everyman (T. W. Manson)
(Romans 7:14-25).
(Galatians 5:17)
