Paul is saying here that the Law is holy but it can only point out sin & makes you feel guilty, and so makes the believer’s struggle with sin. We including Paul can only be freed from sin through Christ Jesus our Lord. Thanks be to God 🙌🏻
It has become my daily habit to make my iced coffee and sit down to read the Word. I look forward to this time every day. Love reading comments from everyone. Thank you so much Kaela.
I love this! That consistency, and looking forward to it - how special! Now I'm curious to know if this is new; new that you look forward to and enjoy your time with God in His Word or if it's always been like that? ☺️
@@hiswordmywalk Kaela, it’s a complicated story ( if you’d like to hear all of my testimony I’d be glad to send it to you. ) I was born into and raised in a Christian home. I have never known a time that I didn’t know the Lord. My amazing mama , my younger sister and brother and I had devotion and prayer time from when were very little until we were teens.I then started really maturing my faith. Trying to be consistent with study and church. It was at age 20 when things started to change. For the next 32 years everything changed. Id love to tell you about it all privately. It has taken me until now to find my way back. I had been praying and searching for something. I knew I needed to. I found your RUclips and started reading Acts with you. Now as soon as I get home from work early afternoon the first thing is getting my iced coffee. Laying out my 2 bibles and my ipad.no matter what the day has been like Im so excited to read. And during examination of my heart and soul have seen a huge change in myself.
My beverage of choice over the past few has also been tea, at one time I only drank coffee unless I was at a Church gathering. Paul is a bit like Peter in ways, he does not mince his words. Have already read chapter 8. God Bless. Good to see you had a safe trip to camp with those young ladies.
I love a good cup of tea! Camp was an "experience" lol. And yes, there's so much we can learn from Paul AND Peter. Can you imagine those moments when they tag-teamed together to teach! WOW!
My beverage of choice is a cup of black coffee in the am but throughout the day I drink seltzer water with a squirt of lemon or lime flavoring. Thanks again for these wonderful studies. I am so glad I found your you tube channel! You are an amazing woman. May God continue to bless you.
Romans 7:7-25 explores the relationship between the law of Moses and human sin. Paul insists that the law is how he came to know and understand sin, in general, and his own sin specifically. He also explains how knowing the law does not make a person holier; it can actually tempt us to sin even more! Paul changes his perspective in this passage, speaking in a first-person-here-and-now manner, as a Christian, wanting to do what is right and finding himself doing what is sinful instead. Paul recognized his natural inability to do right and realized his need to be delivered from sin by God through Jesus.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it and growing. Well there's your challenge (you had to know I would say this lol) - make Wednesdays a special day for you and God. Choose Proverbs, Psalms, or continue on ahead of me. Keep on going!!! ❤️
Mid morning coming from Sunny California ☀️high in the 90s today and I’m drinking electrolytes today but if it’s early in the morning, it’s usually hot tea🫖📖😊
I drink water with a flavor packet. It’s interesting that sin is personified in this chapter. The NIV reads in verse 8, “sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me…” and in verse 11, “sin… deceived me.”
Wow! I love that you share so often from the NIV. I keep reminding myself over and over that this is one complete letter, not chapters - it's had me reading and understanding Romans in a new light this time ☺️ And I love a good little flavor packet/squirt when I just cannot seem to get any more water in lol
Romans 7:1-6 contains Paul's teaching that those in Christ have been released from following the law of Moses. Why? Our association with Christ's death on the cross created in us a kind of spiritual death that led to a new spiritual life. Paul illustrates his point by pointing to the law of marriage. A woman whose husband has died is released from her commitment to that husband. In the same way, we are released from our obligation to the law and freed up to serve in the new way of the Spirit.
Romans 7 explained : (1.) The woman is the church ; which is Israel , the only nation to have made a covenant with the Father ; and the husband is the mediator/protector/HUSBAND , for the people ( Israel , which is the church ) , in the covenant with the Father . (2.) The Israelites who refused to live by faith ( That is repenting of their sins with a sorrowful heart , like king David did ; then believing by keeping the commandments of their mediator Moses ; which he received the words of the covenant from God ; which is the law of faith ) , these fell under their mediator ( Moses ) protection ; under the sin sacrifice of atonement ; which the Father gave through a priesthood ( Leviticus ) , the law of animal sacrifice ; which is the law of works . (3.) So then if , while her husband ( Moses ) liveth , she be married to another man , she shall be called an adulteress ; but if her husband ( Moses ) be dead ( Hebrews 7:11-12 ," If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood , ( for under it the people received the law , ) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec , and not be called after the order of Aaron ? For the priesthood being changed , there is made of necessity a change also in the law " ) , she is free from that law ( law of animal sacrifice , or circumcision made by hands ; the priests of Leviticus ) ; so that she is no adulteress , though she be married to another man ( Jesus Christ ) . (4.) Wherefore , my brethren ( Israelites ) , ye also are become dead to the law ( animal sacrifice and oblations for atonement ) by the body of Christ ( repenting of your sins , and believing by obedience , the law of faith ) , even to him who is raised from the dead , that we should bring forth fruit unto God ( 2 John 1-6 , " 1.The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;2For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.3Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.5And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.6And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. ) . (5.) For when we were in the flesh ( law of works , or law of animal sacrifice , or circumcision of flesh for sin through the priesthood of Leviticus ) , the motions of sins ( 1 John3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) , which were by the law ( Hebrews 10:1-4 , " 1.For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. ) , did work in our members ( flesh ) to bring forth fruit unto death . (6.) But now we are delivered from the law ( law of works , or law of animal sacrifice ; which was also called the law of sin and death ) , that being dead wherein we were held ; that we should serve in newness of spirit ( circumcised of heart for sin ) , and not in the oldness of the letter ( Romans 2:13 , " 13.For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. ) . Moses gave the people the law of the Father on two tablets of stone , and written in ink , but they did not believe ( 2 Corinthians 3:1-18 ) . (7.) What shall we say then ? Is the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) ? God forbid . Nay , I had not known sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) , but by the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) : for I had not known lust , except the law ( law of animal sacrifice or the law of sin and death ) had said , Thou shalt not covet ( Romans 3:20 , Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight : for by the law is the knowledge of sin ; Hebrews 10:1-4 , " 1. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. ) . (8.) But sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) , taking occasion by the commandment ( law of animal sacrifice , or another name is ; the law of sin and death ) wrought in me all manner of concupiscence ( Romans 5:20 , " Moreover the law entered , that the offence might abound . But where sin abounded , grace did much more abound " ) . For without the law ( law of animal sacrifice , or law of sin and death ) sin ( 1 Joh 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) was dead ( Romans 5:13, " For until the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) was in the world ( which entered into the world when Adam transgressed against the law of God ) : but sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) is not imputed ( represents something undesirable as been done , caused or possessed by someone ) when there is no law ( law of animal sacrifice , or law of sin and death ) . What Paul is saying : Before the law of animal sacrifice was given through the mediator Moses for the sin of the flesh/body , the God of Israel required all to repent with a sorrowful heart , like king David did , through faith ; remember , grace by faith ; the priesthood of faith ( Melchisedec ) has always been available from the beginning , for the one's who live by faith . There is no grace or mercy through the law of animal sacrifice , and some transgressions against the laws of the Father , there were no sacrifice to protect the flesh/body ( man picking up sticks on the sabbath day ) . ( 9.) For I was alive without the law once : ( law of animal sacrifice , or schoolmaster ) but when the commandment came ( law of animal sacrifice , or law of sin and death ) , sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) revived , and I died ( Ezekiel 20:24-25 , " Because they had not executed my judgments , but had despised my statutes , and had polluted my sabbaths , and their eyes were after their father's idols . Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good , and judgments whereby they should not live " ) . And the commandment ( circumcision of the flesh/body for sin , or the law of animal sacrifice ) which was ordained to life ( keep the earthly tabernacle or body alive ) , I found to be unto death ( law of animal sacrifice could not forgive you of the heart/spirit , or the second tabernacle , or the second death ) .
( 10.) For sin ( 1 John 3:4 ,the transgressions of the law of God ) taking occasion by the commandment ( law of animal sacrifice , or the law of sin and death ) , deceived me , and slew me ( most of Israel believed that salvation came through the law of animal sacrifice , or the law of works , or another name was the law of Moses ; because Moses was the intercessor , or husband for the people under the covenant with the Father , through the priesthood of Leviticus ) . (11.) Wherefore the law ( animal sacrifice and oblations , or law of works ) is holy , and the commandments ( schoolmaster , or animal sacrifice ) holy , and just and good . ( 12.) Was then that which is good ( law of animal sacrifice or circumcision of flesh for sin ) made death unto me ( this sacrifice or atonement was for the earthly tabernacle , not the heavenly tabernacle ) ? God forbid . But sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) , that it might appear sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) ,working death in me by that which is good ( Hebrews 10:4 , " For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins " ; which the law of animal sacrifice was also called the law of sin and death . Once you transgress the laws of God , your circumcision is made uncircumcision , Romans 2:25 ) ; that sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the laws of God ) by the commandment ( law of animal sacrifice ) might become exceeding sinful ( Romans 5:20 , " Moreover the law entered , that the offence might abound . But where sin abounded , grace did much more abound " ) . ( 13.) For we know that the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) is spiritual : but I am carnal sold under sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) . For that which I do I allow not :for what I would , that do I not ; but what I hate , that do I ( What Paul is saying , when he should keep the laws of God , that he do not ; when he go through the law of animal sacrifice for the atonement of sin , that he should not do ; but what he hate ( law of animal sacrifice ) , that do I . ( 14.) If then I do that which I would not ( make an atonement through the law of animal sacrifice ) , I consent unto the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) that it is good ( which was only for the atonement of the flesh/body , not the heart/spirit ) . ( 15.) Now then it is no more I that do it , but sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) that dwelleth in me . For I know that in me ( that is in my flesh ) dwelleth no good thing ( the circumcision of flesh for sin ; or the law of animal sacrifice ) : for to will is present with me ; but how to perform that which is good I find not ( atone through the law of faith ; which is repenting and believing the gospel ) . ( 16.) For the good that I would I do not ( repenting by faith , the law of Christ ) : but the evil which I would not , that I do ( atonement through the law of works , or animal sacrifice ) . ( 17.) Now if I do that I would not ( atonement through the law of animal sacrifice ) , it is no more I that do it , but sin ( 1 John 3:4 , transgressions of the law of God ) that dwelleth in me ( law of animal sacrifice could not forgive you of the sins of the heart/spirit , because it was not of faith ) . ( 18.) I find the a law ( law of animal sacrifice , or law of sin and death ) , that , when I would do good ( go through the law of animal sacrifice for the atonement ) , evil is present with me ( law of works could not free you of the sins of the heart/spirit ) . ( 19.) For I delight in the law of GOD after the inward man ( law of faith , circumcision of the heart for sin ; which means that you repent of your sins with a sorrowful heart , then believe by obeying your mediator Jesus Christ commandments ; which he received from the Father ) . ( 20.) But I see another law in my members , ( law of animal sacrifice ; which the Israel continued to use for the cleaning of the body , not for SIN ; that became unclean due to touching a dead body , purification , etc... ) , warring against the law of the mind ( circumcision of the heart/spirit for sin , or the law of Christ , or the law of grace , or the law of liberty , or the law of righteousness , or the law of faith , etc... ) , and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin ( law of animal sacrifice , or the law of sin and death ) which is in my members . ( 21.) O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death ( law of animal sacrifice , or the law of sin and death ) ? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord ( circumcision of the heart for sin ) . So then with the mind ( The atonement of faith through Jesus Christ ) I myself serve the law of God (The commandments of the Father ; which includes all the covenants ; which are instructions to righteousness ) ; but with the flesh the law of sin ( the law of animal sacrifice for the cleaning of the flesh/body , when it becomes unclean ) . When we use the word law , understand that the bible talks of three types of laws . ( 1.) Laws of the Father ; which are his commandments/laws/instructions , that includes all the covenants that he has given man from the beginning ( Adam ) to the end of the creation ( great white throne judgment ; these are instructions for righteousness ( 2 Timothy 3:14-17 ) ; (2.) The law for the atonement of sin of the flesh/body , through the mediator Moses ; which was called the law of animal sacrifice and oblations through works , not of faith or the inward man . ( PLEASE UNDERSTAND , THE LAW OF MOSES IS NOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS , STATUTUES AND COVENANTS THAT MOSES RECEIVED FROM GOD , BECAUSE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE AFRAID TO HEAR IT FROM GOD ( EXODUS 20 ) , BUT THE SIN SACRIFICE LAW OF ATONEMENT THAT WAS ADDED BECAUSE THE ISRAELITES WERE BREAKING GOD'S LAWS OF THE COVENANT , AND NOT REPENTING BY FAITH ( GALATIANS 3:16-19 . ) ) (3.) The law for the atonement of sin of the heart/spirit , through the mediator Jesus Christ ; which was called the law of faith ; the blood of Christ through faith ; which is to repent of your sins with a sorrowful heart , then believe by keeping the commandments of your mediator Jesus Christ ; which he received from the Father . Shalom !
Who was Paul ? Romans 11:1 , " I say then , Hath God cast away his people ? God forbid . For I also am an Israelite , of the seed of Abraham , of the tribe of Benjamin " . Paul is an Israelite ; and the Israelites are the only nation under the laws of the Father , because they are the only nation to have made a covenant with him . The Gentiles , or all other nations are grafted into the covenant of Israel , through faith in Jesus Christ . Because the children of Israel were breaking his covenant without repenting by faith , like king David did ; in order to not kill their flesh/body , he gave to them through their mediator/HUSBAND , Moses , the sin atonement for the flesh , or the law of animal sacrifice and oblations , under the priesthood of Leviticus . This atonement for sin was not of faith , but of works ; which cleans the flesh/body , but not the heart/spirit . To be a Son of the Father , you must live by faith ; which is the atonement through the mediator Jesus Christ , under the priesthood of Melchizedek : repenting of your sins with a sorrowful heart , then believing by obedience ; which means to start keeping the commandments of your mediator Jesus ; which he received from the Father . Grace by faith was always available for ALL MEN ,from the beginning ( Adam ) ; the Priesthood of Melchizedek has been around since the beginning of the creation ( Genesis 14:18-20 ) . Over the centuries , the Israelites lost their way , that is while the prophet Moses told them . Deuteronomy 18:15-19, " 15.The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. 17And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. 18I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. And he would put in that prophet mouth all the things that the people desired at Horeb , or Mount Sinai . Which is the ten commandments , that the God of Israel spoke to them , and all the statutes , judgments and covenants that Moses would speak to them of , because the people were afraid to hear it from God , lest we die . Paul started by saying : " I SPEAK TO THEM THAT KNOW THE LAW " ; that would be Israelites . Paul spoke to Israelites and Gentiles together , in most cities he ministered . This is an allegory of the sin sacrifice laws through the two mediators ; which Moses was the husband under the covenant between the Father and the children of Israel at Mount Sinai , and Jesus Christ became the husband of the covenant between the Father and the children of Israel , after he was resurrected , and appeared before the Father in heaven for our sins . The sin sacrifice of atonement went through the mediators , under a priesthood ( blood of the animals and oblations , through works , under the priesthood of Leviticus through Moses , and blood of Christ , through faith , under the priesthood of Melchizedek , through Jesus Christ ) . Jesus Christ has redeemed us from our former husband Moses and the law of animal sacrifice . Most of the nation of Israel did not believe that Jesus was that atonement for sin to bless all nations , so they continued in the first atonement ( blood of the animals and oblations ) ; which is one of the reasons , that we are scattered to the four corners of the earth , and cannot return to the land as a natin until we re-think ourselves , and our Messiah return for us ( EZEKIEL 20:30-38 ) . Paul did not believe at first , he persecuted the followers of Jesus Christ , and continued in the atonement of the blood of the animal for sin ; which could only clean the flesh/body , not the heart/spirit . In this allegory , Paul is talking about three types of laws that is spoken of throughout the bible : (1.) The laws of the Father ; which are his laws/commandments/instructions ; which includes all the covenants ; these are instructions for righteousness ; from the first commandment he gave man , to the end of the creation . (2.) The sin sacrifice law of atonement for the flesh/body , through the mediator Moses ; the law of animal sacrifice of works . (3.) The sin sacrifice law of atonement for the heart/spirit , through the mediator Jesus Christ , the blood of Christ through faith , by repenting & believing the gospel ; which are the laws of the Father , that he put in Christ mouth . The sin sacrifice of atonement for the flesh/body had many names ( law of animal sacrifice and oblations ,or the law of sin and death , or the law of works , of the circumcision of flesh for sin , or the schoolmaster , or the whole law , or the law of Moses , because it came through the mediator Moses , who was the protection/covering /husband , for the people ) . The sin sacrifice of atonement for the heart/spirit had many names ( law of faith , law of liberty , circumcision of heart/spirit for sin , law of righteousness , law of grace , or law of Christ , because it came through the mediator Jesus Christ , who was the protector/covering/husband , for the people ) . Most of times in Romans 7 , Paul is talking about the law of animal sacrifice , when he say ( law ,commandment , flesh ) . Most of the times in Romans 7 , Paul is talking about the blood of Christ through faith , when he say ( newness of spirit , inward man , law of my mind ) . Most of the times in Romans 7 , Paul is talking about the laws of the Father , when he say ( sin , law of God ) . The apostle Peter said that some of Paul's writings and other scriptures are sometimes hard to be understood . Hope this help ? Shalom !

Good day, I usually drink some bush tea in the morning. Sometimes I have basil or lemon grass tea with milk and sugar.😊
Ooooo, I don't know what bush tea is but I'm usually down for any type of tea ☺️

This was a whoa chapter for me . I read it in all of my translations. It also goes along with the first chapter in Fervent.

Hi, All. I'm really enjoying this. I miss you on Wednesdays.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it and growing. Well there's your challenge (you had to know I would say this lol) - make Wednesdays a special day for you and God. Choose Proverbs, Psalms, or continue on ahead of me. Keep on going!!! ❤️
Mid morning coming from Sunny California ☀️high in the 90s today and I’m drinking electrolytes today but if it’s early in the morning, it’s usually hot tea🫖📖😊
Awesome!
Good morning everyone from Michigan 😊
So glad you're here ☺️
good after noon sister kaela❤
Glad you're here ☺️
Good morning from Texas
Good morning! The DFW was home for me for a couple years ☺️
Hey Kaela FYI there are ads coming on in the middle of your reading can you look into it thanks your happy reader🤗
I love seeing you here every day. I don't control where the ads are placed. Hopefully they're easy to skip, or a moment to refill your drink ☺️
I drink water with a flavor packet. It’s interesting that sin is personified in this chapter. The NIV reads in verse 8, “sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me…” and in verse 11, “sin… deceived me.”
Wow! I love that you share so often from the NIV. I keep reminding myself over and over that this is one complete letter, not chapters - it's had me reading and understanding Romans in a new light this time ☺️ And I love a good little flavor packet/squirt when I just cannot seem to get any more water in lol
@@lauramccollum5686 thank you for sharing this, I don't have the NIV and I have been reading the chapters in all the translations that I have 😊
I have my coffee
Classic, right!? Although I actually don't even like the smell of coffee. Weird fun fact hahahaha

Romans 7 explained :
(1.) The woman is the church ; which is Israel , the only nation to have made a covenant with the Father ; and the husband is the mediator/protector/HUSBAND , for the people ( Israel , which is the church ) , in the covenant with the Father .
(2.) The Israelites who refused to live by faith ( That is repenting of their sins with a sorrowful heart , like king David did ; then believing by keeping the commandments of their mediator Moses ; which he received the words of the covenant from God ; which is the law of faith ) , these fell under their mediator ( Moses ) protection ; under the sin sacrifice of atonement ; which the Father gave through a priesthood ( Leviticus ) , the law of animal sacrifice ; which is the law of works .
(3.) So then if , while her husband ( Moses ) liveth , she be married to another man , she shall be called an adulteress ; but if her husband ( Moses ) be dead ( Hebrews 7:11-12 ," If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood , ( for under it the people received the law , ) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec , and not be called after the order of Aaron ? For the priesthood being changed , there is made of necessity a change also in the law " ) , she is free from that law ( law of animal sacrifice , or circumcision made by hands ; the priests of Leviticus ) ; so that she is no adulteress , though she be married to another man ( Jesus Christ ) .
(4.) Wherefore , my brethren ( Israelites ) , ye also are become dead to the law ( animal sacrifice and oblations for atonement ) by the body of Christ ( repenting of your sins , and believing by obedience , the law of faith ) , even to him who is raised from the dead , that we should bring forth fruit unto God ( 2 John 1-6 , " 1.The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;2For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.3Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.5And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.6And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. ) .
(5.) For when we were in the flesh ( law of works , or law of animal sacrifice , or circumcision of flesh for sin through the priesthood of Leviticus ) , the motions of sins ( 1 John3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) , which were by the law ( Hebrews 10:1-4 , " 1.For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. ) , did work in our members ( flesh ) to bring forth fruit unto death .
(6.) But now we are delivered from the law ( law of works , or law of animal sacrifice ; which was also called the law of sin and death ) , that being dead wherein we were held ; that we should serve in newness of spirit ( circumcised of heart for sin ) , and not in the oldness of the letter ( Romans 2:13 , " 13.For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. ) . Moses gave the people the law of the Father on two tablets of stone , and written in ink , but they did not believe ( 2 Corinthians 3:1-18 ) .
(7.) What shall we say then ? Is the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) ? God forbid . Nay , I had not known sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) , but by the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) : for I had not known lust , except the law ( law of animal sacrifice or the law of sin and death ) had said , Thou shalt not covet ( Romans 3:20 , Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight : for by the law is the knowledge of sin ; Hebrews 10:1-4 , " 1. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
4. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
) .
(8.) But sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) , taking occasion by the commandment ( law of animal sacrifice , or another name is ; the law of sin and death ) wrought in me all manner of concupiscence ( Romans 5:20 , " Moreover the law entered , that the offence might abound . But where sin abounded , grace did much more abound " ) . For without the law ( law of animal sacrifice , or law of sin and death ) sin ( 1 Joh 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) was dead ( Romans 5:13, " For until the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) was in the world ( which entered into the world when Adam transgressed against the law of God ) : but sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgression of the law of God ) is not imputed ( represents something undesirable as been done , caused or possessed by someone ) when there is no law ( law of animal sacrifice , or law of sin and death ) . What Paul is saying : Before the law of animal sacrifice was given through the mediator Moses for the sin of the flesh/body , the God of Israel required all to repent with a sorrowful heart , like king David did , through faith ; remember , grace by faith ; the priesthood of faith ( Melchisedec ) has always been available from the beginning , for the one's who live by faith . There is no grace or mercy through the law of animal sacrifice , and some transgressions against the laws of the Father , there were no sacrifice to protect the flesh/body ( man picking up sticks on the sabbath day ) .
( 9.) For I was alive without the law once : ( law of animal sacrifice , or schoolmaster ) but when the commandment came ( law of animal sacrifice , or law of sin and death ) , sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) revived , and I died ( Ezekiel 20:24-25 , " Because they had not executed my judgments , but had despised my statutes , and had polluted my sabbaths , and their eyes were after their father's idols . Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good , and judgments whereby they should not live " ) . And the commandment ( circumcision of the flesh/body for sin , or the law of animal sacrifice ) which was ordained to life ( keep the earthly tabernacle or body alive ) , I found to be unto death ( law of animal sacrifice could not forgive you of the heart/spirit , or the second tabernacle , or the second death ) .
( 10.) For sin ( 1 John 3:4 ,the transgressions of the law of God ) taking occasion by the commandment ( law of animal sacrifice , or the law of sin and death ) , deceived me , and slew me ( most of Israel believed that salvation came through the law of animal sacrifice , or the law of works , or another name was the law of Moses ; because Moses was the intercessor , or husband for the people under the covenant with the Father , through the priesthood of Leviticus ) .
(11.) Wherefore the law ( animal sacrifice and oblations , or law of works ) is holy , and the commandments ( schoolmaster , or animal sacrifice ) holy , and just and good .
( 12.) Was then that which is good ( law of animal sacrifice or circumcision of flesh for sin ) made death unto me ( this sacrifice or atonement was for the earthly tabernacle , not the heavenly tabernacle ) ? God forbid . But sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) , that it might appear sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) ,working death in me by that which is good ( Hebrews 10:4 , " For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins " ; which the law of animal sacrifice was also called the law of sin and death . Once you transgress the laws of God , your circumcision is made uncircumcision , Romans 2:25 ) ; that sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the laws of God ) by the commandment ( law of animal sacrifice ) might become exceeding sinful ( Romans 5:20 , " Moreover the law entered , that the offence might abound . But where sin abounded , grace did much more abound " ) .
( 13.) For we know that the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) is spiritual : but I am carnal sold under sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) . For that which I do I allow not :for what I would , that do I not ; but what I hate , that do I ( What Paul is saying , when he should keep the laws of God , that he do not ; when he go through the law of animal sacrifice for the atonement of sin , that he should not do ; but what he hate ( law of animal sacrifice ) , that do I .
( 14.) If then I do that which I would not ( make an atonement through the law of animal sacrifice ) , I consent unto the law ( law of animal sacrifice ) that it is good ( which was only for the atonement of the flesh/body , not the heart/spirit ) .
( 15.) Now then it is no more I that do it , but sin ( 1 John 3:4 , the transgressions of the law of God ) that dwelleth in me . For I know that in me ( that is in my flesh ) dwelleth no good thing ( the circumcision of flesh for sin ; or the law of animal sacrifice ) : for to will is present with me ; but how to perform that which is good I find not ( atone through the law of faith ; which is repenting and believing the gospel ) .
( 16.) For the good that I would I do not ( repenting by faith , the law of Christ ) : but the evil which I would not , that I do ( atonement through the law of works , or animal sacrifice ) .
( 17.) Now if I do that I would not ( atonement through the law of animal sacrifice ) , it is no more I that do it , but sin ( 1 John 3:4 , transgressions of the law of God ) that dwelleth in me ( law of animal sacrifice could not forgive you of the sins of the heart/spirit , because it was not of faith ) .
( 18.) I find the a law ( law of animal sacrifice , or law of sin and death ) , that , when I would do good ( go through the law of animal sacrifice for the atonement ) , evil is present with me ( law of works could not free you of the sins of the heart/spirit ) .
( 19.) For I delight in the law of GOD after the inward man ( law of faith , circumcision of the heart for sin ; which means that you repent of your sins with a sorrowful heart , then believe by obeying your mediator Jesus Christ commandments ; which he received from the Father ) .
( 20.) But I see another law in my members , ( law of animal sacrifice ; which the Israel continued to use for the cleaning of the body , not for SIN ; that became unclean due to touching a dead body , purification , etc... ) , warring against the law of the mind ( circumcision of the heart/spirit for sin , or the law of Christ , or the law of grace , or the law of liberty , or the law of righteousness , or the law of faith , etc... ) , and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin ( law of animal sacrifice , or the law of sin and death ) which is in my members .
( 21.) O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death ( law of animal sacrifice , or the law of sin and death ) ? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord ( circumcision of the heart for sin ) . So then with the mind ( The atonement of faith through Jesus Christ ) I myself serve the law of God (The commandments of the Father ; which includes all the covenants ; which are instructions to righteousness ) ; but with the flesh the law of sin ( the law of animal sacrifice for the cleaning of the flesh/body , when it becomes unclean ) .
When we use the word law , understand that the bible talks of three types of laws .
( 1.) Laws of the Father ; which are his commandments/laws/instructions , that includes all the covenants that he has given man from the beginning ( Adam ) to the end of the creation ( great white throne judgment ; these are instructions for righteousness ( 2 Timothy 3:14-17 ) ;
(2.) The law for the atonement of sin of the flesh/body , through the mediator Moses ; which was called the law of animal sacrifice and oblations through works , not of faith or the inward man .
( PLEASE UNDERSTAND , THE LAW OF MOSES IS NOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS , STATUTUES AND COVENANTS THAT MOSES RECEIVED FROM GOD , BECAUSE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE AFRAID TO HEAR IT FROM GOD ( EXODUS 20 ) , BUT THE SIN SACRIFICE LAW OF ATONEMENT THAT WAS ADDED BECAUSE THE ISRAELITES WERE BREAKING GOD'S LAWS OF THE COVENANT , AND NOT REPENTING BY FAITH ( GALATIANS 3:16-19 . ) )
(3.) The law for the atonement of sin of the heart/spirit , through the mediator Jesus Christ ; which was called the law of faith ; the blood of Christ through faith ; which is to repent of your sins with a sorrowful heart , then believe by keeping the commandments of your mediator Jesus Christ ; which he received from the Father .
Shalom !
Who was Paul ?
Romans 11:1 , " I say then , Hath God cast away his people ? God forbid . For I also am an Israelite , of the seed of Abraham , of the tribe of Benjamin " .
Paul is an Israelite ; and the Israelites are the only nation under the laws of the Father , because they are the only nation to have made a covenant with him .
The Gentiles , or all other nations are grafted into the covenant of Israel , through faith in Jesus Christ .
Because the children of Israel were breaking his covenant without repenting by faith , like king David did ; in order to not kill their flesh/body , he gave to them through their mediator/HUSBAND , Moses , the sin atonement for the flesh , or the law of animal sacrifice and oblations , under the priesthood of Leviticus .
This atonement for sin was not of faith , but of works ; which cleans the flesh/body , but not the heart/spirit .
To be a Son of the Father , you must live by faith ; which is the atonement through the mediator Jesus Christ , under the priesthood of Melchizedek : repenting of your sins with a sorrowful heart , then believing by obedience ; which means to start keeping the commandments of your mediator Jesus ; which he received from the Father .
Grace by faith was always available for ALL MEN ,from the beginning ( Adam ) ; the Priesthood of Melchizedek has been around since the beginning of the creation ( Genesis 14:18-20 ) .
Over the centuries , the Israelites lost their way , that is while the prophet Moses told them .
Deuteronomy 18:15-19, " 15.The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
And he would put in that prophet mouth all the things that the people desired at Horeb , or Mount Sinai .
Which is the ten commandments , that the God of Israel spoke to them , and all the statutes , judgments and covenants that Moses would speak to them of , because the people were afraid to hear it from God , lest we die .
Paul started by saying : " I SPEAK TO THEM THAT KNOW THE LAW " ; that would be Israelites .
Paul spoke to Israelites and Gentiles together , in most cities he ministered .
This is an allegory of the sin sacrifice laws through the two mediators ; which Moses was the husband under the covenant between the Father and the children of Israel at Mount Sinai , and Jesus Christ became the husband of the covenant between the Father and the children of Israel , after he was resurrected , and appeared before the Father in heaven for our sins .
The sin sacrifice of atonement went through the mediators , under a priesthood ( blood of the animals and oblations , through works , under the priesthood of Leviticus through Moses , and blood of Christ , through faith , under the priesthood of Melchizedek , through Jesus Christ ) .
Jesus Christ has redeemed us from our former husband Moses and the law of animal sacrifice .
Most of the nation of Israel did not believe that Jesus was that atonement for sin to bless all nations , so they continued in the first atonement ( blood of the animals and oblations ) ; which is one of the reasons , that we are scattered to the four corners of the earth , and cannot return to the land as a natin until we re-think ourselves , and our Messiah return for us ( EZEKIEL 20:30-38 ) .
Paul did not believe at first , he persecuted the followers of Jesus Christ , and continued in the atonement of the blood of the animal for sin ; which could only clean the flesh/body , not the heart/spirit .
In this allegory , Paul is talking about three types of laws that is spoken of throughout the bible :
(1.) The laws of the Father ; which are his laws/commandments/instructions ; which includes all the covenants ; these are instructions for righteousness ; from the first commandment he gave man , to the end of the creation .
(2.) The sin sacrifice law of atonement for the flesh/body , through the mediator Moses ; the law of animal sacrifice of works .
(3.) The sin sacrifice law of atonement for the heart/spirit , through the mediator Jesus Christ , the blood of Christ through faith , by repenting & believing the gospel ; which are the laws of the Father , that he put in Christ mouth .
The sin sacrifice of atonement for the flesh/body had many names ( law of animal sacrifice and oblations ,or the law of sin and death , or the law of works , of the circumcision of flesh for sin , or the schoolmaster , or the whole law , or the law of Moses , because it came through the mediator Moses , who was the protection/covering /husband , for the people ) .
The sin sacrifice of atonement for the heart/spirit had many names ( law of faith , law of liberty , circumcision of heart/spirit for sin , law of righteousness , law of grace , or law of Christ , because it came through the mediator Jesus Christ , who was the protector/covering/husband , for the people ) .
Most of times in Romans 7 , Paul is talking about the law of animal sacrifice , when he say ( law ,commandment , flesh ) .
Most of the times in Romans 7 , Paul is talking about the blood of Christ through faith , when he say ( newness of spirit , inward man , law of my mind ) .
Most of the times in Romans 7 , Paul is talking about the laws of the Father , when he say ( sin , law of God ) .
The apostle Peter said that some of Paul's writings and other scriptures are sometimes hard to be understood .
Hope this help ?
Shalom !
My beverage of choice is a cup of black coffee in the am but throughout the day I drink seltzer water with a squirt of lemon or lime flavoring.
Thanks again for these wonderful studies. I am so glad I found your you tube channel! You are an amazing woman. May God continue to bless you.
You are such a delight in my day too when I see your comments. Ooo seltzer water with lemon - sounds fancy lol ☺️❤️
Romans 7:1-6 contains Paul's teaching that those in Christ have been released from following the law of Moses. Why? Our association with Christ's death on the cross created in us a kind of spiritual death that led to a new spiritual life. Paul illustrates his point by pointing to the law of marriage. A woman whose husband has died is released from her commitment to that husband. In the same way, we are released from our obligation to the law and freed up to serve in the new way of the Spirit.
