In Romans 7, the Apostle Paul teaches us about the law and sin. He demonstrates the danger of “the sin that dwelleth” in us, and the spiritual defeat it can bring to our Christian lives. We learn in this episode that freedom’s enemy is not the law, but our old sin nature that is revealed by the law; the problem lies within us. Although the law is holy, just, and good, it cannot make us holy, just, and good. Only Christ and the grace of God can accomplish that.
