For Sunday, October 9, 2011

1) Romans 7:7-13


What questions did Paul anticipate from his opponents in this section? Why would Pauls’ opponents argue this? Or why would they argue that Paul was leading to this idea? What is the purpose of the Law? How does the Law make sin alive? What was Paul’s conclusion about the Law?



2) Romans 7:14-20


What is the conflict Paul describes in this passage? Do you identify with this struggle in your own life? How would you describe your personal experience with this struggle? Is verse 17 an excuse?



3) Romans 7:21-25


How does Paul identify the parts of himself that are in conflict? What is Paul’s conclusion? Where does freedom come from? How would you describe this freedom to someone who hasn’t experienced it? Are you experiencing freedom over sin in your life?



4) Review Genesis 3


How do you look at this story differently after reading Paul’s teaching in Romans 7?


John 14:13; James 1:22; 1 John 2:3-6


What do these verses teach about why the struggle against sin is important?
