Listen "Session 21 - Romans 7: 1-7 Paul’s most debated chapter."
Episode Synopsis
11-2-25 Bib-Lit
Mark continued in the study of Romans with a focus on Chapter 7: 1-7—Paul’s most debated chapter, especially the verses studied today. Paul uses a legal analogy.
What about the law?
Marriage metaphor: legal, exclusive, permanent. But when someone dies, everything changes.
Death ends the legal agreement of the law.
Illustration
Paul draws out what Scripture says: We have died to the law through the body of Christ so that we belong to God. Our purpose is to bear fruit to God.
The old self bore fruit for death
The new self bears fruit for the Spirit.
Application
We move from law to serving God
Points for home
Stop living the guilt
Fruit comes from your union with Christ not achievement
We’re not serving less but better
Listen to Mark show Paul’s flow of reasoning in how living in Christ means we are dead to sin but alive to serve Him.
