14. TheNecessity of Death (Romans 7:1-13)

In Romans 6, Paul declared that in Christ we died to sin (Rom 6:2). As a result we have:
1. Died to our old nature and now have a new nature
2. Died to our old way of life and now have a new relationship with God through Christ.
a. We have a new nature.
b. We have a new power to overcome sin.
c. We have a new power to walk in holiness.
d. We have a new promise of eternal life.
e. We have a new opportunity to serve God with a new attitude and heart.
Today, we will discover that we have not only died to sin, but also to the Law. Rom 7:4
Was the Law really given for us to as the means of a right standing before God?
Was the Law God’s remedy for man’s sinful condition?
NO! We have already discovered in our study of Romans that the law was given:
1. So that the whole world might be held accountable to God – Rom 3:19
2. To make mankind conscience of sin – Rom 3:20
3. So that the trespass might increase – Rom 5:20
4. To lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith – Gal 3:20
The law was given to reveal God’s standard of righteousness and to show us the 
depth of our sinfulness and the impossibility of living it without a new nature and 
without His power.
The law has never been man’s problem. Rather it is man’s fallen nature that makes 
the Law impossible to keep.
