“When I look upon God’s good law, which promises life to those who keep it, and death to those who don’t, it exposes me as a sinner.  Some here may even be living the experience that Paul described in chapter 7 rather than a life of freedom from slavery to sin. It is not as though we should just say: “oh there is no condemnation, it doesn’t really matter,” and then go on living just the same.  Instead, we should know that this is an untenable situation; an unacceptable position.  But it is not as though we should go back to the Law, understanding that the one who sins shall die, and then try harder to keep the commandment…Instead, the solution is to remember who we are.  I am dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.  Praise God!!! Prayerful meditation on the gospel is the solution.  It is the means for sanctification; sanctification by faith alone.”
