The Big Idea: Moral rules can tell you you're sick, but they cannot cure you.

Romans 7:1-25 Psalm 119:165 Psalms‬ 19:7 But… Acts 15:10

Freedom from sin and freedom from the Law go closely together.

The Point of the Matter: Romans 7:4-6

● We die to the Law so we can belong to another - to Him who was raised from the dead. ● SO THAT we might bear fruit for God. ● In the realm of the flesh, we bore the fruit of death. ● By dying to what bound us, we serve in the new way of the Spirit, not the old way of the written code.

Romans 7:21-25

The Law diagnoses my disease, but it cannot treat it.

Colossians 2:20-23

Galatians 5:16-18

We trade the law of sin and death for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

Our Answer: Romans 8:1-4

Response: ● Stop staring at the Law of sin and death, and keep in step with the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. ● Focus on the inside of the cup and not the outside.
