The New International Version Chapter 7

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

Romans 7:6 Serve in the New Way

in the new way

in the grace of Jesus

love, joy, peace

in holiness and righteousness - Paul

be pure as God is pure - Peter

walk as Jesus walked - James

Romans 7:6 Not in the Old Way

not by the letter of the law

Romans 7:10 NIV

I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.

walking in sin brings death

the law is holy, righteous and good

God is the author - cannot be anything else

so why the problem?

Everyday Response

it is true we are considered righteousness by confessing Jesus is Lord

we have this ongoing battle with sin in our lives

we are not yet 100% pure

the sin nature is hanging on like the front lawn in the middle of drought

it is our obligation to become more Christ-like

First Response

we must recognize ungodly words and behaviour in ourselves

not someone else’s responsibility

recognize sin and deal with it

you have the Holy Spirit

“reveal all unrighteousness in me”

“Lord give me the power to remove this sin”

Second Response

do not be afraid to use the word sin in your home

do not bring condemnation

bring correction

bring an understanding of sin in our lives

reinforce the need for Jesus in your life
