Bible Question: what do you understand by this verse |
Bible Answer: Hello, chesi! I'm not sure if you have read all the responses to your post or if you are satisfied with them... My two... Romans 8:1-14 (4). There's no justification in the Law, not because the Law is fraudulent or imperfect (the Law is God's Word) but because it was placed in our hands and as sinners we corruptedly interpreted and applied the Law (i.e.: when checking adultery there's never a mention--OT or NT--of the man caught in adultery). In Romans 8:1-14 and 6:15 Paul is emphasizing that we cannot corrupt the Law (sin) and claim that we can because we are above the Law. He clarifies that only in Jesus can we be justified (Romans 8:4) because we aren't able to fulfill the Law. Yet in Christ we can fulfill the Law--but for His grace! Has God offer a clause (Romans 6:15) to circumvent the Law? Can we claim to have Jesus and willfully live a sinful life? As Paul says, God forbid! God Bless! |
