Day 42

Therefore has that which is good become death unto me? God forbid! Rather, sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was working death in me through that which is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. Romans 7:13 MEV

Sin works through that which is good. This is dangerous if misunderstood.

So now it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. Romans 7:17 MEV

This not Paul playing the victim card, but making the point that the reality is that sin dwells in a fallen human being.

To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace, Romans 8:6 MEV

To understand this fully is to come to terms with who God is.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37 MEV

Always remember this.

What shall we say then? The Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith, but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, did not attain the law of righteousness. Why not? Because they did not seek it by faith, but by the works of the law. For they stumbled over the stumbling stone. Romans 9:30-32 MEV

Law of righteousness vs attaining righteousness by faith in Jesus Christ.
