Under New Law

Scripture: Romans 7:1-6

This Sunday we look at chapter 7 in Romans. In the previous weeks during chapter 6 we looked at how sin affects our lives. Now in chapter 7 we see how the law affects our lives. We will learn how the law's role is different after Christ's resurrection. Please take time to read and meditate on these scriptures before coming to e:ncounter this Sunday morning.


Questions to ponder:

1. What was the result of the "law" on the nation of Israel?
2. What "law" does the Christian live by?
3. How valid are the 10 commandments for New Testament Christians?
4. What makes the Old Testament valid for Christians today?
5. How is Christianity a "freeing" experience?
