Romans 5:5 KJVS
[5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 7:7-11 interprets rom6:14 quite well. Paul shows from those verses an example of why he had to die to a law of righteousness
I don't even know where you are going with all this.
You don't even know my view on 6:14.
Absolutely. A person will grow faster I they have a proper understanding of rom6:14
If ever a single verse of Paul's could sum up his core message of grace that would be it, alongside rom 3:31
I wouldn't need to know your view to write what you have responded to. If you don't know where I am going with the link of ron7:7-11& rom6:14 I guess yours and my understanding on this is different
I would never try to pare down Paul's presentation of grace to one or two verses, it is so rich that would do it a horrible disservice
Nope, I haven't tried to guess your view at all, just gave you an opinion of mine. I couldn't know your view as all you have done is quote the scripture, not explained your view of it
.
It is not a horrible disservice to say Paul's core message of grace could be summed up in one verse rom6:14
What could be more important in the christian walk than understanding why sin shall not be your master?
That does not explain why sin shall not be your master for you are not under law but under grace.
In rom7:7-11 Paul gives a personal example from his own life as to why he had to die to a law of righteousness. The truth in those verses is potent, and goes a long way to explaining rom6:14
We know that at conversion. But what is more important in the christian walk than an understanding of sin not being your master"
Well I had, and this is why sin will not have domnion...
Romans 8:3 KJVS
[3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Romans 7:4 KJVS
[4] Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
Romans 6:6-7 KJVS
[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him , that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [7] For he that is dead is freed from sin.
More important? Jesus is your Lord.
As the Dylan song went..."ya gotta serve somebody".
Rom 7:5 is good too
For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies so that we bore fruit for death
Anyway, as I said I liked JP book, for he did not just quote scripture but look into a little why rom 6:14 is true, what is the thinking behind it
