Romans 7 ~ We know that the law is spiritual

 

 

Romans 7

Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.


7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.

13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.

For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

Usually Father God teaches us about sin, not as a list, but a story of godly men and women who fell. These people - were hoping usually not to be seen or identified as people who usually do the wrong thing. And their life story shows to go on hurting others, or ourselves, causes us to change attitudes and opinions sometimes to fall. To adapt to evil and fall. Others see the damage and repair.


And if we were to put names to the flaws:


Romans 3
21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law,
although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—

22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift.

Through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.

This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.



The names would be - all - have fallen.






Why would The Scriptures go on about being wrong when St. Paul was writing this in the Power of the Holy Spirit? Paul is sorry that his private opinions are not always gracious. His actions not always pleasing to God.

Paul realizes the depth of Jesus' sacrifice and knows he is unworthy to attain his own Salvation.

Father God,

You know all of the Constellations and call them all by name.

The Heavenly Host are Yours.

Rise up Father God, in Your Mercy receive our prayer as our
Compassionate Father!

We believe in Your deliverance with prayer and sincerity of Heart.

Father God, Lord, You are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

I call out to the Lord Father God,
and He answers me from His Holiness.

I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

I will not fear though life will have swells of waves
or if concerns assail me on every side.

Arise, Lord!
Deliver us Father GOD, my God! To Do Your Compassionate and Great Will

From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.

Alleluia in the Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
