The Goodness & Weakness of the Law

November 24, 2024 Speaker: Jay Pound Series: The Guide

Scripture: Romans 7:7–25

What keeps us from righteous living?

 

  • We don’t know what is right
  • We don’t do what is right

 

The law successfully takes care of the first - it is holy, righteous and good (7.7, 12)

 

But the law was always powerless to address the second - that in my nature I am a slave to sin (7.21-25)

 

Can anything free us from the power of sin? 

 

Through the sacrifice of Jesus and the gift of the Spirit, God has provided the life that the law promised but was never able to deliver.
