Pastor Brent continues our year-long series in Romans with an opening illustration from the late Christian apologist G.K. Chesterton. When asked to write an editorial answering the age-old question, “What is wrong with the world?”, Chesterton answered the conundrum with two words: “I am.” With the premise that the questions raised in Rom. 7 have plagued all world religions, Pastor Brent addressed two of those questions: “What is the Purpose of the Law?” (vv. 7-13) and “What Does the Law Reveal in Me?” (vv. 14-25). God uses the Law to reveal what is in our hearts. The Law forces us to ask ourselves, “What is our functional savior?” Dying to self leads to deeper transformation in God. We need a deep, heart-level renovation through Christ alone, His atoning work on our behalf, and His imputed righteousness. Christianity is NOT a religion of willpower. We are justified AND sanctified by God’s grace!
