The Law of Life

The law of Life – Rom 7:21-23

Vs 21 –The law Paul finds working in him is this, when he wants to good the reality is that sin is right there with him.  This is the same thing Cain faced when God told Him that sin was standing at the door of his heart and it was looking to master him but he could master it.  Cain’s greatest fault was that he allowed sin to perpetuate through him and be passed onto man.  That was a defining moment in the history of man.

Vs 22 – Paul says that he desired in his inner man to do what God wanted.  He saw the value and the beauty of the law.

Vs 23 – But he saw something else working in his members.  This created a war between what he wanted to do in his mind and heart.  He was a prisoner and slave to the law that was working in his members even though in his mind and heart he wanted to do God’s law and will.  Doing God’s will should be our top priority.  Only through the power of the Spirit led life can this be accomplishment.  Fear falters but faith leaps.  Walk in faith and start walking and leaping and praising God.
