Romans 7

Reading:

Exodus 19:3-8 “while Moses went up to God. The Lord called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.” So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him. All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.”

Introduction:

Israel was never supposed to be saved through the keeping of the law!

This was clearly stated by Paul in:

Romans 3:20 “For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.”

As we read through the word we are confronted with information that is challenging.

With that information we should ask ourselves questions
