The points Paul speaks of in chapters one through seven sets the stage for point he wants to make in chapter eight. He wants to do good, yet he acknowledges the wretched man he is as he finds his flesh doing battle with his spirit.

In Chapter Seven, Paul tells us that we must not only die to sin, we are to die to the law as well. Listen to this study and discover how Paul reminds us that there is a good purpose to the law, however, we must die to it.

As we finalize our study in chapter five, Pastor Bill discusses the different views of what Adam was for us and deepens our understanding of imputation. In chapter six Paul speaks of the influence sin has on us and how we die to that influence.

As you listen to this study you will learn how Paul now turned to a presentation of the experiential results of the believers’ justification - God declaring them righteous on the basis of faith. And how faith in Christ does something in us to make us righteous, and how God can look upon us and see us as righteous.

To make his point that the righteousness of God has been revealed apart from the law, Paul refers us to Abraham. Paul could not have chosen a more extreme, human example to make his point that we are saved by grace through faith, apart from works. Listen to this study and find out why!
