15. Apostle’s Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ,
His only Son our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell,
the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy universal church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen

16. Today’s Psalm Reading: Ok Joo Choi
Psalms 107:1-15
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;     his love endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—     those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
those he gathered from the lands,     from east and west, from north and south.
Some wandered in desert wastelands,     finding no way to a city where they could settle.
They were hungry and thirsty,     and their lives ebbed away.
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,     and he delivered them from their distress.

17. Today’s Psalm Reading: Ok Joo Choi
Psalms 107:1-15
He led them by a straight way     to a city where they could settle.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love     and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
for he satisfies the thirsty     and fills the hungry with good things.
Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness,     prisoners suffering in iron chains,
because they rebelled against God’s commands     and despised the plans of the Most High.
So he subjected them to bitter labor;     they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

18. Today’s Psalm Reading: Ok Joo Choi
Psalms 107:1-15
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,     and he saved them from their distress.
He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness,     and broke away their chains.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love     and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

Prayer by : Ok Joo Choi

20. This Week’s Verse
But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. (Romans 7:8,9) (Oct. 30)

21. Next Week’s Verse
I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good. (Romans 7:10-12) (Nov. 6)

22. Today’s Reading
Romans 7:7-13
What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 
But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 
Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 
I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 
For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.

23. Today’s Reading
Romans 7:7-13
So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

24. Today’s Reading
Romans 7:7-13
그런즉 우리가 무슨 말을 하리요 율법이 죄냐 그럴 수 없느니라 율법으로 말미암지 않고는 내가 죄를 알지 못하였으니 곧 율법이 탐내지 말라 하지 아니하였더라면 내가 탐심을 알지 못하였으리라
그러나 죄가 기회를 타서 계명으로 말미암아 내 속에서 온갖 탐심을 이루었나니 이는 율법이 없으면 죄가 죽은 것임이라
전에 율법을 깨닫지 못했을 때에는 내가 살았더니 계명이 이르매 죄는 살아나고 나는 죽었도다
생명에 이르게 할 그 계명이 내게 대하여 도리어 사망에 이르게 하는 것이 되었도다
죄가 기회를 타서 계명으로 말미암아 나를 속이고 그것으로 나를 죽였는지라
이로 보건대 율법은 거룩하고 계명도 거룩하고 의로우며 선하도다

25. Today’s Reading
Romans 7:7-13
그런즉 선한 것이 내게 사망이 되었느냐 그럴 수 없느니라 오직 죄가 죄로 드러나기 위하여 선한 그것으로 말미암아 나를 죽게 만들었으니 이는 계명으로 말미암아 죄로 심히 죄 되게 하려 함이라

26. 27. Sin and the Law (Romans 7:7-13)

27. Introduction
Paul has established that the law cannot save (Rom. 3–5), that it cannot sanctify (chap. 6), and that it can no longer condemn a believer (7:1–6).
In 7:7b-13, Paul gives four elements of the convicting work of God’s law: it reveals sin (v. 7b), it arouses sin (v. 8), it ruins the sinner (vv. 9–11), and it reflects the absolute sinfulness of sin (vv. 12–13).

28. Review - The Law Reveals Sin (7b)
During his pre-salvation experience of conviction, Paul came to realize that the most important demands of God’s revealed law were not external but internal and that he had failed to meet them.
It is significant that the apostle chose the most obviously internal injunction (명령) of the Ten Commandments to illustrate his personal experience that the law reveals sin.
I would not have known about coveting, he explains, if the Law had not said, “You shall not covet.”

29. The Law Reveals Sin (7b) Ten Commandments List
You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall make no idols.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Keep the Sabbath day holy.
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet.

30. The Law Arouses Sin (8)
(v.8) But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 
Paul once again makes clear that the law itself is not sinful and is not responsible for sin.
It is the sin that is already in a person’s heart that takes opportunity through the commandment of the law to produce coveting of every kind as well as countless other specific sins.

31. The Law Arouses Sin (8)
Faithful preachers have always proclaimed the demands of God’s law before proclaiming the grace of His gospel.
A person who does not see himself as a lost and helpless sinner will see no need for a Savior.
And the person who is not willing to be cleansed of his sin, even if he recognizes it, has no access to the Savior, because he refuses to be saved.
The problem is with sin, not with the law. “Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God?” Paul rhetorically asked the Galatians, and then answered with his favorite negative, “Absolutely not!” (Gal. 3:21).

32. The Law Arouses Sin (8)
Aphormē (opportunity) originally was used of the starting point or base of operations for an expedition(탐험, 원정).
Sin uses the commandment, that is, God’s law, as a beachhead(교두보) from which to launch its evil work.
It is no secret that man has a natural rebellious streak(특징, 줄무늬) that causes him almost reflexively(반사적으로) to resent a command or prohibition.
When people notice a sign that reads “Keep off the grass” or “Don’t pick the flowers,” for instance, there is often an impulse to do the very thing the sign forbids.

33. The Law Arouses Sin (8)
When a person is confronted by God’s law, the forbidden thing becomes all the more attractive, not so much for its own sake as for its furnishing a channel for the assertion of self-will.
In his rich allegory Pilgrim’s Progress, John Bunyan paints a vivid word picture of sin’s arousal by the law.
A large, dust covered room in Interpreter’s house symbolizes the human heart.
When a man with a broom(빗자루), representing God’s law, begins to sweep, the dust swirls up and all but suffocates (질식시키다) Christian.

34. The Law Arouses Sin (8) That is what the law does to sin.
It so agitates(휘젓다) sin that it becomes stifling(숨막히게 하는).
And just as a broom cannot clean a room of dust but only stir it up, so the law cannot cleanse the heart of sin but only make the sin more evident and unpleasant.

35. The Law Arouses Sin (8)
The axiom of Paul’s argument here is that apart from the Law sin is dead.
It is not that sin has no existence apart from the law, because that is obviously not true.
Paul has already stated that, long before the law was revealed, sin entered the world through Adam and then spread to all his descendants (Rom. 5:12).
Paul’s point in Romans 7:8 is that sin is dead in the sense that it is somewhat dormant and not fully active.
It does not overwhelm the sinner as it does when the Law becomes known.

36. The Law Ruins the Sinner (9-11)
(v.9) Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 
(v.10) I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 
(v.11) For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.
The law not only reveals and arouses sin but also ruins and destroys the sinner.
Still recounting his own experience before salvation, Paul confesses that he had long been alive apart from the Law.

37. The Law Ruins the Sinner (9-11)
As a highly-trained and zealous Pharisee, he was certainly not apart from the law in the sense of not knowing or being concerned about it.
He was an expert on the law and considered himself to be blameless in regard to it, thus thinking he lived a life that pleased God (Phil. 3:6).
But throughout all his years of proud self-effort, Paul had served only the “old way of the written code” of the law (Rom. 7:6).
But when a true understanding of the commandment came, he began to see himself as he really was and began to understand how far short he came of the law’s righteous standards.

38. The Law Ruins the Sinner (9-11)
On the other hand, he died in the sense of his realizing that all his religious accomplishments were spiritual rubbish (Phil. 3:7–8).
His self-esteem, self-satisfaction, and pride were devastated and in ruins. Paul died.
That is, for the first time, he realized he was spiritually dead.
When he saw the majesty and holiness of God’s perfect law, he was broken and contrite(깊이 뉘우치는).

39. The Law Ruins the Sinner (9-11)
He was finally ready to plead with the penitent tax-collector, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” (Luke 18:13).
He recognized himself as one of the helpless and ungodly for whom Christ had died.
In our day of great emphasis on God’s love, often to the neglect of His wrath and judgment, it is especially important to evaluate the genuineness of salvation more by a person’s regard for God’s law than by his regard for God’s love.

40. The Law Ruins the Sinner (9-11)
‘The commandment’, representing all of God’s law, which was to result in life, proved rather to result in death for me, Paul says.
(v.9) Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 
What he had considered to be a means of gaining eternal life had turned out to be the way of spiritual death.
God gave the law to provide blessing for those who love and serve Him.
Throughout the Old Testament, the Lord gave His people such promises as, “Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart” (Ps. 119:1–2).

41. The Law Ruins the Sinner (9-11)
But the law, the commandment, cannot produce blessing and peace in the unbeliever, because he cannot fulfill the law’s requirements and therefore stands under its sentence of death.
The law cannot produce the life it was meant to produce because no man is able to meet the law’s perfect standard of righteousness.
If it were possible, perfect obedience to the law could bring life.
But because such obedience is not possible for fallen, sinful man, the law brings him death rather than life.

42. The Law Ruins the Sinner (9-11)
As believers in Jesus Christ, we are saved and given eternal life because “the requirement of the Law [is] fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit,” and because Christ Himself indwells us through His own Spirit, “though the body is dead because of [our] sin, yet [our] spirit is alive because of [His] righteousness” (Rom. 8:4, 10; emphasis added).
Repeating what he has just said about sin taking opportunity through the commandment (cf. v. 8) and causing his death (it killed me; cf. w. 9–10), Paul says that sin also deceived him.
(v.11) For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.

43. The Law Ruins the Sinner (9-11)
Deceit is one of sin’s most subtle and disastrous evils.
A person who is deceived into thinking he is acceptable to God because of his own merit and good works will see no need of salvation and no reason for trusting in Christ.
It is doubtless for that reason that all false religions—including those that claim the name of Christ—in one way or another are built on a deceptive foundation of self-trust and self-effort.
