Today’s reading is Romans 7
“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.””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭7:7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin.” Is there anyone who doesn’t sin? Identifying sin leads to repentance. Repentance leads to the fruit of the Spirit. If we choose not to identify sin, that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t separate us from God, it just doesn’t lead to repentance. The good news is Jesus comes to transform us into His likeness through repentance. Please pray that we and our friends ask Jesus to reveal any sins we harbor and repent. Please pray for all the people who have lost a loved one this last year.
