Thank You Jesus
(Romans 7:21-25) The challenge that faces all of humanity is their inability to exercise self control in all things. Oh sure, people can exercise self control over many things, but everyone has a weakness or two that will take hold of them when they least expect it and do not want it to happen and…

Sold Under Sin
(Romans 7:13-20) They abolished slavery several hundred years ago. At least they did in most western civilisations and those civilisations where rulers had compassion for their people. And this is a good thing. But despite that fact we are all slaves. Every person on this earth is in the bondage of a slavery like no…

Oops, I Did It Again
(Romans 7:9-12) No this post is not about the song of the same title by Britney Spears, although she too has succumbed in this human problem as well. She has had a few epic fails that have been splashed all over the media and I feel really sorry for what she has been through. What…

The Knowledge Of Sin
(Romans 7:7-8) In previous posts I have looked at sin, freedom from sin and freedom from law. Here we see a further section of scriptures that look at the matter of the knowledge of sin. The understanding of the knowledge of sin is important for all Christians, even after they are set apart from the…

Serving the Law or Serving in the Spirit
(Romans 7:5-6) In my recent posts I have discussed the purposes and processes for freedom from law and freedom from sin that we receive by the grace of God in Jesus Christ. These two scriptures continue and expand this issue of law or freedom from law as they drive to the heart of the two…

How Freedom From Law Works
(Romans 7:2-4) In my last post we saw why it is necessary that we are set free from the law to negate and remove the power of sin so that God can help us to grow mature in Jesus Christ. In these next few verses of Romans 7 we see how this works and we…

The Law Ends At Death
(Romans 7:1) The title of this post may seem to be blindingly obvious because who can possibly break the law after they have died? It’s impossible to even consider such a thing isn’t it? Absolutely! Once a person dies they can’t do anything, say anything, act or behave in any way at all. So how…

Wages Of Sin
(Romans 6:23) There are a few scriptures in the bible that are so well known that they have moved into common usage amongst both Christians and non-Christians alike. This verse is one of those which says, For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus…

Obedient Slaves
(Romans 6:15-22) In my last few posts I have looked at the prime focus of the death of Jesus and the purpose of His shed blood. That purpose was to set man free from sin and to release man from the power of sin, which is bondage to the law. It is by baptism into…

You Are NOT Under Law
(Romans 6:14) A few posts back I wrote a post titled “You are NOT a Sinner.” The underlying reason for that post is that God has set you free from sin and taken your sins away through the saving and cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. The principles for the release from sin was established in…

Change Your Behaviour
(Romans 6:12-13) In my last post we saw from the writing of Paul that when we come to Jesus and take on His death as our own through faith and by the grace of God, we are no longer sinners. We are no longer held accountable and condemned as sinners for we have moved from…

You Are NOT a Sinner
(Romans 6:1-11) If there is one issue that Christians struggle with it is how they stand in relation to sin after coming to The Lord. I would like you to read the title of this post once again before I go on. Done that? Good! So let me repeat it…you are NOT a sinner. And…
