The battle with the flesh, the triumph of living for Christ in the power of the Spirit of God in Romans chapters 7 and 8. The type of Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis chapter 32 at Peniel is considered. What is the role of the law in the life of the Christian? Can we please God by keeping the law and rules and regulations? We consider the 3 fold response of the flesh to the law, the moral response, the legal response and the religious response.

Romans chapter 6 verse 23, the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The Gospel message found here in Romans chapter 6 and in Luke chapter 23 as we consider the man on the middle cross we find where the gift of eternal life is given, why eternal life is by grace through faith, and how we receive God's free salvation in Jesus Christ.

Romans chapter 6 verse 19, how God takes ordinary Christians and turns them into great servants of God! God pours in His grace into the life of service, knowing that man is but dust, in the infirmity and weakness of our frail human flesh. God is no stranger to grace! It was grace God poured into the life of His discouraged Elijah in the wilderness with the touch of an angel and it was grace God poured into the life of doubting Thomas revealing His nail pierced hands and spear pierced side. Beware of measuring your service in the scales of disappointment! In Romans chapter 6 verse 19 we have the 4 rules for Christian service: One Word of Grace at a time One Master at a time One decision at a time One step at a time.
