Scott continues the study of Romans, focusing on 7:5-13, exploring the difference between living under the old law and the new covenant of the Spirit. He unpacks Paul's teachings on how the law, while holy and good, reveals the depth of human sin and exposes our inability to achieve righteousness through our own efforts. Scott examines the persistent power of sin and why even God's good commandments can provoke sinful desires within us. He uses relatable examples from literature and daily life to show how our nature rebels when faced with restriction, echoing Paul's struggle with coveting.

The discussion highlights the purpose of the Old Testament law—not as a path to righteousness, but as a vital context for understanding God's holiness and our need for Christ. Scott discusses the importance of understanding both the old and new covenants, highlighting that true transformation comes only through the Spirit. He closes with practical encouragement on valuing all of scripture for wisdom, restoration, and insight, reminding believers of the completeness found in Christ’s fulfillment of the law and the gift of new life under the new covenant.
