 Welcome to the class on Romans, everyone, Shalom and also welcome to our e-learning students who will be listening to this lecture later on. Last week we were studying chapter 6, we'll continue our study of chapter 6 and then we'll move on to chapter 7 today. So before we continue looking at chapter 6, can one of you please lead us in prayer please, anyone? Yeah, let's pray. J. Heavenly Father, we come to you under the name of Jesus. We thank you for this day, we thank you for the class we are about to have. Go ahead, as we are about to learn the spiritual truths that can transform our life Jesus. God, I just pray that we'll open our mind and heart, our spiritual eyes and ears will be opened so that we can understand it so that we can receive it in our heart. We can be fully convinced in our faith that these are the truths that I should walk in my life Jesus. God, I just pray for all my classmates who are about to come who's over here. Give us good life by connection throughout the session so that nothing will be a distraction to us. We give pastor Selena and her hands to be blessed in the name of Jesus right now as she's preaching to us, be with her, guide us Jesus.

We give you all the glory and honor in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. So, we began looking at Romans chapter six verse 15 where in verse 15 we see that, you know, Paul mentions the second rhetorical question, the second main question. He says, shall we sin because we're not under the law but under the grace which he says this in verse 15. And then he has two other questions to help answer this main question which is in verse 16 and verse 21. And we see that he answers this question, this main question, you know, shall we continue to sin because we're not under law but under grace. He says certainly not and he says why because, you know, he says that he's already told us that we need to present ourselves to God. We need to submit ourselves as slaves to righteousness and not slaves to sin because we're no longer under the law but under grace. Okay, so we looked at all of those verses and we came to verse 19 where verses 19 to 23 we see that, you know, Paul basically is summing up what he's saying. But he even as he sums up what he's been talking about so far. He recognizes a problem that believers can still have, which he deals with in verses 19 to 23. So he says that hey, we are dead to sin, sin has no longer control over us, you know. So, you know, because we're dead to sin, you know, we no longer can continue sinning sin has no control over our lives, and he's mentioned all of that. But then even as he, you know, he sums up the entire thing, he recognizes hey, there is a problem that believers or you and I can still have. And what is that? That is the weakness of our flesh. So he talks about that in verses 19 to verses 23. So we study verses 19 to verses 23. Now, can one of you please read verses 19 to 23 please. Chapter 6. Yes, Romans chapter 6 verses 19 to 23. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh for just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness. So now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness for when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed for the end of those things is dead. But now having been set free from sin and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit of, you have your fruit to holiness and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thank you, Rosalind. So here he begins this verse by saying, I speak in human terms, which means Paul is using a language that they are able to understand. And, and he's basically referring to the use using of an example regarding slaves. So, you know, slave slavery was very well known, very familiar in the Roman world in the Roman Empire. And so he's using, you know, an example from an example that is very familiar to them. And he says, you know, as we apply this, this whole truth of identification to overcome sin, which he has discussed at length in chapters five and six. You know, he says, we are going to walk in holiness. Okay. So this is what Paul is getting to. But he's saying that, you know, we are going to walk in holiness. But even as we are getting to that, there is one problem and that problem is the weakness of our flesh. Now the word flesh has different meanings in the New Testament. It means the body. It also means the, the sinful evil desires of the outer man, which is the body and the flesh. But the flesh here means the natural evil desires of the body. Okay. Paul also writes in Galatians chapter five where he writes about the works of the flesh and he lists out all the evil desires of the flesh, which is the body. And here he says there is the weakness of the flesh and he will elaborate or he'll talk more about this on this in chapter seven. But how do we get rid of the weakness of our flesh where sin has a strong grip or a strong hold on us for a long time. So he says, you know, how do you get rid of the weakness of your flesh? He says you need to present your members. You know, he's already spoken about this and he says all this happens as an act of our will. And he repeats the idea of willfully, you know, presenting or yielding ourselves as slaves. So in verse six, he's always spoken about this in verse 16 where it says you present yourselves as slaves to obey. And verse 19 where it says now present your members as slaves of righteousness to holiness or slaves of righteousness for holiness. So before, you know, they were born again, you know, Paul says that they were continually presenting their members as slaves of uncleanliness or slaves of impurity and lawlessness, which means a wickedness or transgression or they were basically violating the law, which was leading to more lawlessness. But now since they are in Christ, he says now, you know, you need to present your members as slaves of righteousness. And what is it going to yield slaves of righteousness for holiness? So before you were born again, you were presenting your members as slaves of uncleanliness. But he says now since you are in Christ, you are to present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. And Paul reminds them that when they were in sin, you know, the end result of that was death. Okay. And he's, he's mentioning this in verse 21. And he says in verse 23 that the wages of sin is death. However, when we yield ourselves as slaves to God and as slaves to righteousness, we have the fruit of holiness. What this is what he says in verses 19 and 22, where he says this leads eventually to eternal life. And so he's saying that God's grace has made us free from sin. And in response to God's grace, you know, what is should what should be our response to God's grace? We must, you know, we billingly must make ourselves slaves to God and slaves to righteousness. And what does that yield or what is the end result of us willingly making that choice of submitting and surrendering ourselves as slaves to God and as slaves to righteousness. The result is holy living before God. Okay. So in chapter seven, you know, the whole discussion is he's going to elaborate more about the weakness of the flesh. He's going to be talking about the struggle of a man who has the law of God and he wants to obey God, but he doesn't have the power to do it because of the weakness of the flesh. And then he explains why the flesh is weakened in chapter seven. And in chapter eight, he goes on to say that, you know, for those who are born again, those who are believers, this is the answer. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that is going to help them to overcome the weakness in the flesh. And so he says, you know, yes, I know that there is the weakness of the flesh, but there is a law and what is that law? It's not the commandments or the Torah, but here he's saying the law of the spirit of life. And he says the law of the spirit of life, which is the Holy Spirit will help us to conquer the weaknesses in the flesh, will still help us to overcome the weaknesses of the flesh. And so, you know, he goes on to talk about in chapter eight where how the believer can live that victorious life. Okay, so he ends with just talking about in this part of his letter talking about the weakness of the flesh, but he goes on to, you know, elaborate that in chapter seven and in chapter eight. He helps us how, you know, we can live a victorious life over this weakness of the flesh when we follow the law of the spirit of life or the Holy Spirit that helps us to conquer the flesh. Okay, so that is chapter six. When we move on to chapter seven, we'll understand more because this is the letter, there's a flow, there's a connect. Anyone has any questions in chapter six before we move on to chapter seven? No questions first. Okay, thank you, Japhina. Anyone else? Okay, if there are no questions, then we'll move on to chapter seven. I like for us to read through chapter seven so that we can understand, you know, the background, the introduction that I'm going to give you a short brief of chapter seven so it's good for us to read it before we understand in totality what he's trying to really talk about in chapter seven. So there are 25 verses and I think there are nine of us, sorry, eight of y'all, so each of you can read maybe three or four verses please and then we can move on. Can each of you read three or four verses from Romans chapter seven? Or those of you want to read can also go ahead and read more than four or five verses, yeah. This one, chapter seven, or do you not know, brethren, for I speak to those who know the law, that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives. For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. So then, if while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear truth to God. Thank you Rosalind. Can someone else read verses five onwards please. For when we were in the place, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not. On the contrary, I would not have known Steen except through the law. For I would not have known Qubitius-ness unless the law had said you shall not go with. But sin taking opportunity by the commandment produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law, sin was state. Thank you, Subashish. Can someone else read verses nine onwards please. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came sin revived and I died. And the commandment which was to bring life I found to bring death. For sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me and by it killed me. Yes, go ahead, Lyndon. Therefore the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good. You can read 13 and 14 as well please. How then what has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not, but sin that it might appear sin was producing death in me to what is good so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. Eman, thank you Lyndon. Can someone else read verses 15 onwards please. For what I am doing, I do not understand for what I will for what I will to do that I do not practice what what I hate that I do. If then I do what I will not to do I agree with the law that it is good. But now it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me that is in my flesh nothing good dwells for to will is present with me. But now to perform what is good I do not find for the good that I will to do I do not do but evil I will not to do that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells in me. I find then alone that evil is present with me that one who wills to do good for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members wearing against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Okay, thank you Zalatoli. Just two more verses anyone would like to read the two verses. Some wretched man that I am who will deliver me from this body of death. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God but with the flesh the law of sin. Thank you. So in chapter six we see that you know Paul is established that we have been justified freely by the grace of God. We have been made righteous in God's sight and are in a standing of grace. And then he says you know he then goes on to say then do we live victorious. He then goes on to say how we can live victorious over skin. And in chapter six Paul also presents to us the truth of identification and that through our identification with Christ in his death. The old man has been crucified and the power of sin over our lives has been broken. So we no longer have a sinful nature that is in our inner person which is exerting its influence inside out. And this is a spiritual reality or what he refers to as the positional truth that we have in Christ. And then he goes on to explain in chapter six you know the various practical actions that we need to take to walk experientially in this spiritual reality that we have in Christ. Now in chapter seven you know chapter seven has been quite a challenging chapter for those who study the Bible because Paul refers to himself as I in several places. While reading if you have noticed there are several places in this chapter where he refers to himself as I. And it's not clear for people who are studying the scriptures whether he's talking about himself before he was saved or he's talking about himself after he was saved. So the whole problem they have is when reading chapter seven is Paul writing this in a place where he's referring to himself before he was born again or before he encountered Jesus in the road to Damascus or was it after he was saved. So it's not very very clear about it so it's not clear whether he was talking about himself as being saved and struggling in the flesh or where was Paul in his spiritual journey as he refers to himself in Romans chapter seven. So this is the big question mark. Now when we read different Christian books the authors would you know explain from their own perspective you know based on a presumption of a certain position or a certain stand that they are taking. So some people say that Paul is talking about himself as a new believer and he's struggling with this whole thing about the weakness in the flesh or some people say that Paul is talking about this life about the life of every believer on this earth. You know even after they're born again they're still struggling with the flesh. So this could be another position that people could take but what they're basically trying to say is that you know if you are a believer you know for the rest of your life you are going to be struggling with sin. So if they take this position or they take this stand that hey Paul when he's mentioning about himself here in chapter seven he's basically basically mentioning about himself after he's born again and how he is or he's talking about himself as a believer and how he's struggling with the flesh or if he's or if they're trying to take this position that you know that all believers for the rest of their life are going to struggle with sin you know or they're mentioning this as you know in chapter seven they're talking about believers who are trying to struggle with sin even after they have been born again what they're basically trying to say is you know you and I as believers for the rest of our lives we are going to struggle with this whole aspect of sin. But the point of view that we like to share is you know and we're not going to be forcing this idea upon any of you we are convinced that from Romans seven even as we read it you know you can read it for yourself and you can make your own decision whatever you want to make but we are convinced that Paul is talking about himself when he was an unsaved person when he was under the law and he's talking about his struggles as a good man who is still unsaved who is living under the law but when we move on to Romans eight he's talking about you know salvation and the life in Christ. So in our understanding as we read Romans seven what has been said does not apply to a believer it applies to somebody in this case you know Paul it applies to Paul who was not yet saved but yet he was a good man who was living under the law and it's showing the struggle of any person who's trying to live right but does not have the life of God in him or does not have the power of the Holy Spirit in him and who's trying to live a good life who's trying to keep the law but at constantly at different points is seeing themselves as people who are unable to keep the law unable to you know follow the law and always breaking the law why because they do not have the power of the Holy Spirit in them so this is how we understand Romans chapter seven and I wanted us to be aware of the different stands that people have different stands that Bible teachers have and how they see it differently while it's quite clear for us that Paul is referring to himself in Romans chapter seven while he is under the law now some people may say it's a struggle of every believer throughout their life that you know sin is a struggle for every believer throughout their lives we don't think this is right because of what Paul has already mentioned in Romans chapter six now why we are taking a stand that chapter seven is not what Paul is saying when after he becomes a believer that he's going to struggle with sin but he's talking about himself as an unbeliever or before he was saved is what is mentioned in Romans chapter seven because of what he's already spoken to us in Romans chapter six now what is he told us in Romans chapter six in Romans chapter six he tells us the power of sin is already broken over our lives that sin has no longer any dominion over us sin has no longer any power or authority the power of sin and the authority of sin the dominion of sin over our lives is broken is nullified we are dead to sin and that is what he has already spoken of in chapter six he's already given us the truth of our identification he's already given us our positional truth or our positional identification of who we are in Christ and so what is mentioned in Romans chapter seven cannot be an experience of a believer for the rest of their lives but it is an experience of a person who is under the law and not under the power of the Holy Spirit but a person who is under the law who has a good heart who wants to do good things but cannot do it because they are not under the power of the Holy Spirit so in chapter seven Paul talks about the law in certain places when he talks about the law he's basically referring to the Old Testament law but he also uses the word law in the context of sin which means the law of sin when he says the law of sin he's basically saying the sin that controls us or has dominion over us so when he talks about the law of sin in that context he's not talking about the Old Testament law but he's talking about the dominion of sin or the control of sin so when he talks about the law of death he's talking about the control or the dominion of death when he talks about the law of life he's talking about the control or dominion about life and he's talking about the law of the Holy Spirit he's talking about the control or dominion of the Holy Spirit so we need to understand these two different contexts in which law is used so in some places law is used in the context of which is refers to the Old Testament law but in the other places when he talks about the law of life, the law of sin, the law of death, the law of the Holy Spirit he's basically talking about the control, the dominion, the authority, the power of sin, death or the Holy Spirit that is over us so in this chapter Paul reveals that just as a believer is dead to sin the believer is also dead to the law and is therefore free from the law however this does not mean that the law is sinful or the law is evil in itself well the law is good if the law served its purpose the law served its purpose in the sense that the law made us aware of sin the more that we have been made aware of sin the more he says we want to break it and why do we want to break it because he says sin dwells in me in my flesh there is no good thing the law of sin is working in my flesh so here again the law of sin means the control, the dominion, the power of sin is working in my flesh sin is a law which means sin has control has power as dominion and is now controlling my body so the real problem here is not the law but the real problem is that sin that rules and dominates the flesh and the members of our body the law required people to do things now when you talk about the law required people were talking about the Old Testament law the law required people to do things in the strength of their own flesh which was impossible because sin already dominated the flesh so he says sin was accentuated sin was made more noticeable by the law and only further exposed the weakness of the flesh but Paul then highlights the struggle we face in the flesh where sin has dominated our flesh for so long then he prepares us for the truth that he's going to reveal to us in chapter 8 on how we can overcome the law of sin and death that works in our flesh and he says we can overcome the law of sin and death that works in our flesh through the power of the Holy Spirit so this is an overview of what this chapter is all about and we will study this chapter in detail and then you will be able to understand it more before we begin is there any questions anyone has any doubts anything that you would like to ask no okay if not we will move on to verses 1 to 6 where Paul talks about how we are dead to the law and he uses the example of marriage and how we are married to Christ so Paul in these verses is specifically speaking to Jewish believers those who are familiar with the law which is the law of Moses and white Jews because they had the law and hence he's not speaking here to the Gentiles or he's not referring to the Gentiles why do we say that he's talking to Jewish believers because he calls them as brethren he says or do you not know brethren so he's talking about life before and after they are in Christ and how their life was changed before you know they were Jewish brethren they were under the law and now he's impressing upon them or helping them to understand that they are free from the law now to help them to understand this he's using an analogy of a wife as a wife you know by law she is bound to a husband but if a husband dies she is free to marry anyone else or she's free to marry someone else and he's saying brethren I want you to know you know what does he want them to know was for he says therefore my brethren you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ that you may be married to an other to him who was raised from the dead that we should bear fruit to God so he's saying you know I want you to know brethren that you have been dead to the law through our identification with Christ or through us being in Christ so he's saying that you know the shift has taken place they were once outside the body of Christ but now they are in the body of Christ they are in Christ and he says when they were outside the body of Christ they were under the law but now since they are in the body of Christ he uses the phrase you are married to an other he's saying now that you are in the body of Christ he uses a phrase to identify that they are part of the body of Christ he says now you are married to someone else you're married to another because the law is dead okay and as far as believer is concerned the law is dead it is over it is done with it is gone and he says now they are part of Christ they are in Christ they are part of the body of Christ and they are married to Christ married to Christ means he's talking about spiritual unity how they are spiritually united he's talking about our spiritual identification with Christ and he's saying that they are married to Christ he's talking about how they are spiritually united with Christ in verses 5 and 6 he says when we were in the flesh which means when they were not believers but they were living in the past sinful life he says the sinful passions aroused by the law means the sinful passions were highlighted by the law it means that it was the law that said do not steal it was a law that said do not kill it was a law that said do not commit adultery do not covet if there was no law then you know these passions the sinful passions would look very normal it would look like hey this is part of life this is how we are supposed to live this is what everyone is doing this is what I'm also doing and this is what I also think that I should be doing but you know but these things when seen in the light of the law they realize that it is wrong other people could do it other people can do it but because they are chosen by God because they have been given the law they know that these things which would look at as normal passions are actually wrong so these sinful he says these sinful passions worked in our members which means it worked in our body it worked in our flesh and what was the end result of this workings of these sinful passions is saying it resulted only in death verse 6 he says but now we have been delivered from the law he says when we were under the law without Christ we were living bound by all of these sinful passions that were highlighted by the law but now since we have been delivered from the law and now that we are in the body of Christ you know we are living in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter okay so he's basically contrasting two lives life under the letter of the law which he refers to as the oldness of the letter and the life that is in the newness of the spirit the life that is under the law and the life in the spirit so when I say law means under the control the power the dominion the authority of the life in the spirit and he's talking about the newness of the spirit as something that we are marriage to in Christ which means we have our spiritual union we are spiritually united with Christ which also refers to us and also refers as the newness of the spirit so the main point in these six verses he's getting at the Jewish believers and he's trying to get them to understand that they as Jewish believers are no longer under the law anymore that they are free from the law because now they are part of the body of Christ they are in Christ and he says we are serving God in the newness of the spirit a cross reference that we can look at is Galatians chapter 5 verse 18 so if you could please turn to Galatians chapter 5 verse 18 and can somebody read that please for us Galatians chapter 5 verse 18 Galatians chapter 5 verse 18 but if you are led by the spirits you are not under the law so he says if you are led by the spirit you are not under the law why because the Holy Spirit is going to help us to keep the law and much more than the law the Holy Spirit is going to help us to bear the fruit of the spirit and he says against this there is no law which means the law cannot hold us against this so when we walk in the spirit you know we are no longer under the law and hence in Romans chapter 7 verse 6 he says we are in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter of the law he is telling the Jewish believers you don't have to live under the law anymore because now you are in Christ you are part of the body of Christ and you are under the law of the Holy Spirit under the control and the dominion of the Holy Spirit and hence you don't have to live under the law and then he goes on to talk about the law and the struggle with sin in verses 7 to 12 so before we move on to verses 7 to 12 anyone has any questions thank you Rosalind so basically in these verses he is talking about if the law bad so verse 7 he says what shall we say then is the law sin certainly not on the contrary I would not have known sin except through the law for I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said you shall not covet but sin taking opportunity by the commandment producing me all manner of evil desire for apart from the law sin was dead I was alive once without the law but when the commandment came sin revive and I died and the commandment which was to bring life I found to bring death for sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me and by it killed me therefore the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good so in these verses Paul is addressing the whole aspect of the law he has just told the Jewish believers that we are not under the law that they are free from the law that they are in the body of Christ they are married spiritually united to Christ and to one another and they are serving God in the newness of the spirit and now he mentions or he writes a rhetorical question and he says is the law sinful which means is there a problem with the law and he says certainly not the problem is not with the law and as he concludes in verse 12 where he says the law is holy and the commandment is holy and just and good so he says the problem is not the law the problem is because of the law sin became very very powerful which means I now know that there was something called sin and then I realized that I couldn't be free from this sin from this thing called sin so the law basically highlighted my weakness against sin the law basically highlighted that I cannot keep the law I cannot overcome sin that you know it highlighted my weakness against sin so in this passage you know there's something very interesting in verse 9 Paul says I was alive once without the law but when the commandment came sin revived and I died it's very challenging verse for many to understand but Paul is trying to say when he says I was alive once without the law but when the commandment came sin revived and I died so in this verse Paul is referring to himself when was Paul in this state and how do we understand this verse correctly to the best of our understanding so the best person to ask is Apostle Paul but since he is not here himself you know we have the Holy Spirit who can help us so when he says that he was without the law or he did not have an understanding of the law he's saying that he did not have an understanding of what is good and bad or he did not have an understanding of what is right and wrong and hence he did not know what he had to submit to sorry so he's saying when he was without the law or he did not he's basically saying that without the law means he's saying he did not have an understanding of the law he did not have an understanding of what is good and bad or what is right and wrong and he did not know what he had to submit to so that's what he's trying to say and I'd like to share something as though this is definitive but this is indicative now for example at the age of 12 just imagine people understand commandments children know what is right and wrong but at the age of 12 they come to a place of accountability they come to a place where they're able to see the big picture they're able to see that there is God it's not just about doing right and wrong it's not just about obeying a dad or mum or it's not just about if I do something right then I get a reward I get some chocolates or I get some perks or I get the opportunity to watch TV or if they do something wrong they know that they don't get a reward now they come to a place where when they're 12 years of age and past that they come to a place where they've understood the commandment as having to do with God it's not finally about what is right and what is wrong it's not about hey I do something right and I get a reward for it or I do something wrong and I don't get a reward for it but they come to a place where they've understood the commandment as having to do with their relationship with God and what is that exact age that age varies most probably say 12 or 13 and about so what Paul is basically saying in verse 9 is when Paul came to an understanding of the law which means he knew he was accountable to the standard of the law or he came to a place where he understood the commandment as having to do with God he says you know sin revived and I died which means there was no way to overcome sin a sin took a hold of him he says I died means sin brought about decay sin also brought about corruption and you know kind of destroyed his life so he's basically saying that you know yes the law was there the commandments were there but you know we just did it because you know whether it we you know you do something right you get the blessings you do something wrong you get the rewards but you know you come to an age where you know that reward is no longer the main objective of doing right and you know not getting a reward is the whole purpose of doing something wrong but you come to an age where you come to a place of accountability where you're able to see a bigger picture that hey it's not just about right and wrong but you're accountable to God you're doing this because you want it's honoring in God's side this is what he wants us to do so you're understanding the whole context of the law having to do with God and he says when he came to that whole understanding then sin revived and I died which means there was no way to overcome sin because you know sin was already so much part of their natural self because they were under the first Adam you know they were under sin sin had a control over their lives and you know sin had control over them and he says you know I died so when they realized that they were sinning that sin had so much control over their lives and also saw you know that he when he says I died he's basically saying that sin brought decay and sin also brought corruption and destroys our life sorry I'll stop here I've gone past time we'll stop here and we'll continue on Friday and we'll try to understand this in a more deeper sense okay any questions anyone
