10/15 Romans 7:7-10
Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, “You must not covet.” 8 But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power. 9 At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life, 10 and I died. So I discovered that the law’s commands, which were supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead.
SIN
Sin is easy for us to get tangled up in and miss the point of a Christ-like life. We must willingly surrender ourselves to the Lord and present ourselves usable and useful every day. When we decide to do our thing and not God’s thing, and we know what that is, we are sinning. Sin is destructive and separates us from the Lord. Know God’s Word, write it upon your heart and do the next right thing.
