2. Until we died to the law, sin used the law. (v. 7:7-13)
   1. You can’t keep them so just live life
   2. You can keep them so work, work, work until judgment
3. The law isn’t to blame, I am. (v. 7:14-25)
   1. We want to be God. (Genesis 3)
   2. Why those 10 commandments? (Exodus 20)

   1. The gift from God is God Himself. (John 16:13-14)

Thanks be to God that the Holy Spirit is living inside of us and we can rely on Him for direction and not our own understanding.
