Romans 7

Romans 7 explores the believer’s struggle with sin and the law. Paul uses the analogy of marriage to explain our release from the law through Christ’s death. He candidly describes the internal conflict between the desire to do good and the reality of sin, pointing to the need for deliverance through Jesus Christ. This chapter highlights the limitations of the law in bringing about righteousness and the ongoing battle with sin that believers face. Paul concludes with a cry for deliverance, acknowledging that victory comes through Jesus Christ. As you study this chapter, reflect on your own struggles and the hope of deliverance in Christ.
