Sanctification: Dead to the Law | Romans 7:1-12

We are currently in a series called Romans: The Power of the Gospel. Paul is writing to the Christians in Rome helping them see how the gospel is meant to empower godly living. He is currently discussing the doctrine of progressive sanctification—the teaching that Christians are empowered by the Spirit to be slowly transformed into the image of Christ. Now Paul will explain that because Christians have died to sin, they are released from the law and now belong to Christ. He clarifies that this doesn’t make the law sinful, but rather the law makes Christians aware of sin. Listen in as we study Romans 7:1-12 and talk about what it means to be dead to the law and how that applies to our lives.
