Thu, 28 May 2026 10:28:45 GMT Romans 7:1–8 teaches that believers are no longer under the law as a means of righteousness because through Christ they have died to the law and now belong to Him. Paul explains that the law is not sinful; rather, it reveals sin and exposes the rebellion already present in the human heart. True spiritual fruit is not produced by striving to keep rules, but by abiding in Christ and living in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Through Paul's example we discover that mature love has two priorities: the glory of God and the good of the person, and that loving people well sometimes means offering correction they may not receive well in the moment. We also examine what true grace looks like — not a covering that enables us to stay comfortable in sin, but the power of God that empowers us to walk in real victory over it.
