It was light from the book of Romans that scattered the darkness, light that revealed not only the great truth of Christ pardoning sinners but also the power of Christ to cleanse from sin. And it’s light from these pages that we, this quarter, will seek to uncover for ourselves as we study the great theme of salvation by faith alone as revealed in the book of Romans.

Redemption in Romans Lesson 8, August 21 Redemption in Romans Lesson 8, August 21 The Man of Romans 7
7
Key Text Romans 7:6 “Now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in the newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.”
8
The Man of Romans Initial Words {98} Bible students differ on whether Romans 7 was Paul’s experience before or after conversion. What’s important is that Jesus’ righteousness covers us and that in His righteousness we stand perfect before God, who promises to sanctify us, to give us victory over sin, and to conform us to “the image of his Son” (8:29).

The Man of Romans Quick Look 1. Bound to the Law? (Romans 7:1-6) 2. Law Reveals Our Sin (Romans 7:7-13) 3. Struggling With Sin (Romans 7:14-25)
10
The Man of Romans 1. Bound to the Law? Romans 7:1-6 NKJV “Do you not know … 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 she lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. … But now we have been delivered from the law….”
11
1.Bound by the Law? Relationship to the Law Illustrated {99} In essence, Paul’s illustration is as follows: a woman is married to a man. The law binds her to him as long as he lives. During his lifetime she cannot consort with other men. But when he dies, she is free from the law that bound her to him (vs 3).
12
As the death of her husband delivers the woman from the law of her husband, so the death of the old life in the flesh, through Jesus Christ, delivers the Jews from the law they had been expected to keep until the Messiah fulfilled its types. Now the Jews were free to “remarry.” They were now free to abandon the ancient system. 1.Bound by the Law? Relationship to the Law Illustrated {99}
13
The Man of Romans 2. Law Reveals Our Sin Romans 7:7-13 NKJV “Is the law sin? … I would not have known sin except through the law. … For apart from the law sin was dead. 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.”
14
2. Law Reveals Our Sin Is the Law Sin? {101} The word law for Paul is the whole system introduced at Sinai, which included the moral law but wasn’t limited to it. Hence, Paul could quote from it in order to make his points. However, when the system passed away at the death of Christ, that didn’t include the moral law, which had existed even before Sinai and exists after Calvary, as well.
15
Paul is trying to build a bridge to lead the Jews—who revere the “law”—to see Christ as its fulfillment. He is showing that the law was necessary but that its function was limited. The law was meant to show the need of salvation; it never was meant to be the means of obtaining that salvation. 2. Law Reveals Our Sin Is the Law Sin? {101}
16
For that we need Jesus, because the law— whether the entire Jewish system or the moral law in particular—cannot bring salvation. Only Jesus and His righteousness, which comes to us by faith, can. He chooses to blame sin, not the law, for his terrible sinful condition. The law is good, for it is God’s standard of conduct, but as a sinner, Paul stood condemned before it. 2. Law Reveals Our Sin Is the Law Sin? {103}
17
Romans 7:13-25 NKJV “I am carnal, sold under sin. … For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do…. For I know that in me … nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. … O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God— through Jesus Christ our Lord!” The Man of Romans 3. Struggling With Sin
18
A Terrible Sinner {103} Paul describes himself as “sold under sin.” He is a slave to sin. He has no freedom. He can’t do what he wants to do. He tries to do what the good law tells him to do, but sin won’t let him. Living under the “law” means enslavement to sin, a merciless master. By failing to renew their dedication to Christ daily, many Christians are, in effect, serving sin.
19
Thus, instead of taking known sins to Christ and asking Him for victory over them, they hide behind Romans 7, which tells them, they think, that it is impossible to do right. In reality, this chapter is saying that it is impossible to do right when a person is enslaved to sin, but victory is possible in Jesus Christ. 3. Struggling With Sin The Man of Romans 7{105}
20
The Man of Romans Final Words {107} Left to ourselves, without Christ, we are helpless against sin. With Christ we have a new life in Him, one in which—though self will constantly arise—the promises of victory are ours if we choose to claim them.
