Romans 7 exposes something every believer feels: the internal war between what we know is right and what we actually do. Paul teaches that the law isn’t the problem — it’s holy, good, and reveals the sin we were blind to. God uses His standard to convict us, expose us, and lead us into transformation, not condemnation. Though sin deceives and battles within us, freedom is not found in trying harder but in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 7 teaches that following Jesus isn’t about obeying God out of pressure — it’s about loving God out of freedom. Paul uses the picture of a marriage covenant to show that when we died with Christ, we were released from the law and united to Him in new life. Instead of producing a harvest of rebellion, our union with Jesus now produces a harvest of good fruit. This message explores the difference between religion and relationship, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to live in love, not legalism. Real transformation flows not from trying harder, but from living connected to Christ.

Romans 7:1-6

This world is divided by so much right now. We must remember that there is much which unites us as humans. We are all united by our sinful desires, but also in our need for a savior. To become united as God's people, we cannot be slaves to sin, but rather slaves to righteousness through Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:15-23

Series: "The Epistle of Paul to the Romans"

Romans 6 is a call to live like the resurrection actually changed us. Paul reminds believers that sin’s power is broken — we’re no longer slaves, no longer controlled by what once ruled us. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, we have the freedom to live new lives, not by our own strength but by grace. Sanctification means dying to sin and coming alive to righteousness — a daily choice to yield our bodies, desires, and habits to God. Real faith doesn’t just believe in Jesus’ victory; it lives from it.

In Romans 5, Paul parallels the transgression of Adam with the obedience of Jesus, not to compare two humans, but to highlight a new form of humanity. This new humanity has a new kind of life - not just longer, and not just sinless in a moral sense - but it shares in the abundant overflowing overjoying nature of God's own life.
