Romans 7:7-14 We Are Not Made Holy By The Law

What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “You shall not covet.”  But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.  I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died;  and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me; for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

The Law is a standard too lofty for man to obtain.  It is a school-teacher to lead us to Christ.  It both convinces and convicts us of our sin and deprivation
apart from Christ.  So what is holiness in our lives.  It is belief in the Son of God and trusting Him to take away our sin.

Daily Prayer:  Lord Jesus, You sent  us the Holy Spirit to assist in our sin struggle.  Help us to yield to Him so that we can walk by the Spirit and not fulfill the desires of the flesh.  Amen.
