God’s Law Reveals Our Sin - Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin.
Jul 5, 2017 · The Law's Revelation of Sin. Romans 7:7–13. “Sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me” (v. 11). Through its threats of punishment, the law of God restrains sin.
But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
Apr 1, 2001 · What's good and precious about the sadness and pain and loss and self-devastation and humiliation of knowing my sin – not my sins – but my sin? And why in verse 7 does Paul focus on covetousness (desire) in particular?

What I think will be helpful for me to do here, in this limited scope and on this issue for which people write volume after volume of books, is to make seven summary statements about the Mosaic law, with a couple (or maybe one or two) supporting Bible verses so people can actually hear where I’m getting the statements. And then I’ll try to end by s...
So here are my seven statements. 1. Through the law comes the knowledge of sin, not the deliverance from sin. 2. The law, therefore, secures and increases the accountability of all the world. “Everymouth may be stopped” — not just Jewish mouths. 3.

Now, I think that to benefit from these statements, we need to get at the essence of what sin is. I’ve been saying that word over and over again, but I haven’t ever defined it. What are we talking about? What is this awful power that takes this beautiful thing called “holy, good, just law,” as Paul says (see Romans 7:12), and prostitutes it, and tu...
The psalmist, in his best moments, said, “I love your law. It’s a delight to me” (see Psalm 119:35, 97).

–Romans 7:13. In Romans 7, Paul said that the Old Testament Law not only describes sin and arouses sin, but it also reveals sin. Some people would say, “If the Law stirs up sin, then why don’t we just get rid of the Law? Let’s eliminate all rules and commandments, and we will not have any more sin.” Paul said, “Do not misunderstand.
