What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” <br />Romans 7:7 ESV<br /><br />Reference also, James 2:8-13, Leviticus 19:13-18, and Exodus 20:13-14.<br /><br />Paul plainly and strongly asserts that we are not to continue in sin once we have been saved by grace. We are not beneath the Law, but we are to live in agreement with it, because the Law tells us what sin is. Not just the ten commandments, but the whole Law, because as James explains, the Law is indivisible. If you break a commandment in Leviticus 19, it is just as much a sin as breaking a commandment in Exodus 20.<br /><br />From Jay Carper at Common Sense Bible Study (https://CommonSenseBibleStudy.com) and American Torah (https://www.AmericanTorah.com).<br /><br />This content is free, but I accept contributions via Paypal at https://jaycarper.com/paypal.<br /><br />Follow me on Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@AmericanTorah<br />Send me a friend request on The Torah Network: https://www.thetorahnetwork.com/jaycarper<br />Follow me on Twitter: https://jaycarper.com/twitter<br />Add me as a contact on MeWe at https://jaycarper.com/mewe<br />Follow me on Gab at https://gab.com/carper<br />Connect with me on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/americantorah/
