Manage episode 446194399 series 3547119
In the tenth episode of "God Killed My Old Man," Duane Sheriff teaches the role of the law in revealing sin and our need for Christ. Understanding our new nature in Christ is crucial to overcome sin and live a victorious Christian life.
Referencing Romans 7:7-12, Paul explains that the law is not sin but reveals sin. Duane uses the analogy of mud in a pond to illustrate how the law stirs up and exposes the sin already present in our hearts. In Romans 7:14-25, Paul describes the internal struggle between wanting to do good and the sinful nature. This struggle occurs when we try to live the Christian life through our efforts (the flesh) rather than relying on our new nature in Christ.
Romans 8:1-4 declares that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. While we are no longer "in the flesh" (our old sinful nature), we can still choose to "walk after the flesh" instead of the Spirit. The key to victory is to walk according to the Spirit, renew our minds to our new identity in Christ, and remember God has killed our old man.
