Calvary BFC
We like freedom. Conversely, we generally don’t like to be told what to do. God offers freedom to us- but this is not a freedom to do anything we want. Instead, the freedom we are offered frees us from the law while also compelling us to follow God’s plan.
Romans 7:1-13 NASB1995
I. Followers of Jesus have died to the law- vv. 1-4
• We are united to Christ to such an extent that when he died, we died
II. Followers of Jesus produce gospel fruit- vv. 4- 6
• Previously, we produced deadly fruit
• Now we serve through the Holy Spirit
III. Followers of Jesus understand sin and death because of the holy law of God- vv. 7-13
• The problem is not the law, but our reaction to it
• The law was used for death
• God uses the law to reveal our need of a Savior
Bottom Line: Freedom from the law is a freedom from the penalty of sin and a freedom to follow God’s good plan for your life
