Romans | Romans 7 The Law: Its Function and Limits - Lex Loizides

In this sermon, Lex Loizides delves into Romans 7, clarifying our intricate relationship with the Law and gospel freedom. He persuasively dismantles the belief that the Old Testament Law can bring about righteousness, echoing Paul's assertion that the Law only "arouses sinful passions" (Romans 7:5). Instead, Loizides elevates grace as the transformative force, reminding us that we are "more than conquerors in Christ" (Romans 8:37). We are no longer under the cumbersome yoke of the Law but under the liberating reign of grace, enabled to bear fruit in the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

Loizides reclaims the essence of Christianity: it's not about legalism but a loving, living relationship with Jesus Christ. The gospel message is one of unfathomable love, whereby Christ, our "new husband," ushers us into a life of genuine holiness and joy (Romans 7:4). A new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), we are free from sin and the Law, liberated to love God and others in the empowering flow of the Spirit.

Lean into the profound simplicity of this gospel truth. There's nothing more you need to do but trust in Jesus, for "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes" (Romans 10:4). As you embrace this divine love, let it spill over into every area of your life, compelling you to live a Christ-centered life that truly glorifies God.
