Role of Torah in Romans & 1 John What is sin? [KJV] 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. http://hodf.org 35
Role of Torah in Romans & 1 John What is Torah? [NIV] Romans 7:7a What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law… God’s Righteous Standard http://hodf.org 36
Role of Torah in Romans & 1 John [NIV] Romans 6:1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2. By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? http://hodf.org 37
Role of Torah in Romans & 1 John [EXP] Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue to violate God’s Righteous Standard just because we have been delivered from the curse that says “If you sin, you must die!”? 2. Of course not! We died to that type of behavior; how can we knowingly and willingly continue to violate God’s Righteous Standard? http://hodf.org 38
Role of Torah in Romans & 1 John [NIV] Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let [the] sin [nature] reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Freewill decision? http://hodf.org 39
Role of Torah in Romans & 1 John [NIV] Romans 6:13 Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. Trick Question…Freewill decision? Not necessarily –> Have any “Rats in your Cellar”? http://hodf.org 40
C. S. Lewis “Rats in the Cellar” “We begin to notice, besides our particular sinful acts, our sinfulness; begin to be alarmed not only about what we do, but about what we are. This may sound rather difficult, so I will try to make it clear from my own case. http://hodf.org 41
C. S. Lewis “Rats in the Cellar” When I come to my evening prayers and try to reckon up the sins of the day, nine times out of ten the most obvious one is some sin against charity; http://hodf.org 42
C. S. Lewis “Rats in the Cellar” I have sulked or snapped or sneered or snubbed or stormed. And the excuse that immediately springs to my mind is that the provocation was so sudden and unexpected: I was caught off my guard, I had not time to collect myself. http://hodf.org 43
C. S. Lewis “Rats in the Cellar” Now that may be an extenuating circumstance as regards those particular acts: they would obviously be worse if they had been deliberate and premeditated. http://hodf.org 44
C. S. Lewis “Rats in the Cellar” On the other hand, surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of a man he is? Surely what pops out before the man has time to put on a disguise is the truth? http://hodf.org 45
C. S. Lewis “Rats in the Cellar” If there are rats in a cellar you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the suddenness does not create the rats: It only prevents them from hiding. http://hodf.org 46
C. S. Lewis “Rats in the Cellar” In the same way the suddenness of the provocation does not make me an ill-tempered man: It only shows me what an ill-tempered man I am. The rats are always there in the cellar, but if you go in shouting and noisily, they will have taken cover before you switch on the light.” http://hodf.org 47
Role of Torah in Romans & 1 John [KJV] Romans 6:14 For [the] sin [nature] shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. [EXP] Romans 6:14 For you should not allowthe sin nature to “lord it” over you: for you are not under the curse of the law[ ], but freed by His grace. http://hodf.org 48
Role of Torah in Romans & 1 John [KJV] Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. [EXP] Romans 6:15 What then? shall we continue to violate God’s Righteous Standard, because we are not under the curse of the law, but freed from it by His grace? God forbid. http://hodf.org 49
Role of Torah in Romans & 1 John [KJV] Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Trick Question…Freewill decision? What happens if we sin? http://hodf.org 50
