Outline

  1. Thesis: Romans 7 underscores humanity's struggle with sin, emphasizing that the law, though holy, highlights our inability to achieve righteousness without reliance on the transformative power of God.

    Introduction: Romans 7 reveals our innate conflict with sin and the inadequacy of the law to save.

    1. Romans 7:7-12 shows that the law is holy, just, and good, revealing sin's true nature.
        A. The law informs us of sin, like a mirror reflecting our imperfections (Romans 7:7).
        B. Sin exploits the law, turning commandments into opportunities for transgression (Romans 7:8-11).
        C. Thus, the law reveals our sinfulness but cannot save us, as it only shows our need for God (Romans 7:12).
    2. Romans 7:14-23 illustrates the human struggle against sin, showing our inability to overcome it alone.
        A. Paul describes the conflict within, wanting to do good yet powerless to fulfill it (Romans 7:14-19).
        B. Though we desire righteousness, sin dwells within us, making us captives to its power (Romans 7:20-23).
    3. Romans 7:24-25 highlights Paul's cry for deliverance through Jesus Christ, affirming God's transforming power.
        A. Acknowledging our wretchedness, we find hope in Christ, who delivers us from the law of sin (Romans 7:24-25).
        B. This acknowledgment leads to transforming reliance on God's grace rather than self-effort alone.

    Conclusion: Romans 7 reminds us of our constant battle with sin and our need for God's intervention. Recognize that while the law reveals sin, only God's grace can save and transform. Embrace the freedom in Christ, allowing his power to overcome sin within us.
