Living Under the Reign of Grace Sunday, 28 October 2012
2 weeks ago: Romans 6:1-14 1) Death & Resurrection 2) Under Grace
Romans 7:1-25 ‘Living Under the Reign of Grace’
1) A marriage illustration Romans 7:1-3
2) A new way Romans 7:4-6
Flesh = ?? Why are sinful passions aroused by the law? What’s the new way of the Spirit?
3) A sin-deceived opportunity Romans 7:7-13
4) A law-focused life Romans 7:14-25
The great conflict I struggle like this, so Paul must be talking about the normal Christian struggle.
Romans 7:24-25 (NLT) Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.
5) A grace-ruled life Romans 6-8 What is ruling our lives? Law or Grace
