Paradise Lost

The story of the fall of man from a perfect paradise to a place of sin and misery and death begins with an attack on God's word, leading to an attack on God's character, and ultimately justifying disobedience.

Keeping Poodles out of Portraits (Romans 7:15–24)

However, they still battle the pull of their flesh, which can deceive their mind and control their body. The believer's life is a daily battle between the new life in Christ and the old corrupt flesh, and they must do battle with the flesh to live a holy life. [... more]

The Battle Begins (Romans 7:14–17)

The Five-fold Function of Law (Romans 7:7–13)

The law of God defines sin, destroys self-righteousness, declares the deception of sin, and delineates a holy standard. Sin deceives regarding satisfaction, safety, secrecy, shame, and security, leading to a life of rebellion against God's law. The law is a revelation of God's character, and to abandon it means to abandon God. Ultimately, the law demands redemption by the Savior, Jesus Christ, who can redeem us from our corruption and make us children of God through faith in Him. [... more]
