Romans (Program #38) – Law in Romans Seven and Eight
Romans chapters 7 and 8 are the most crucial chapters to every Christian in understanding how to live a vital Christian life.
Paul was speaking frankly concerning his experience, what he was doing, what he could do and what he couldn’t do. If ever there was a man that could be good, that was equipped to be good, to fulfill the law and be obedient, this would have been Paul. Yet he met with such experience that he ended up crying “What wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from … this death?” (Romans 7:24) Many many believers identify with that – we feel that we have tried, that we’ve worked, we’ve tried plan A and then we heard plan B. We go from plan to plan, thinking that something is going to finally make this Christian life vital and real to all of us. And, some things help in a little bit and the it seems like somehow the things get shorted out and sometimes disastrously so and yet many times we get up and start again. All of us find ourselves in this condition from time to time and many believers are stuck there for years and years. We really hope this is a freeing and liberating word that we’re going to touch today.
