Bible Lessons for Today [12/04/2026]

Hi everyone, we all know today is Sunday, a day off in order to go to our various churches and I feel like sharing from the little I learned from church today, from the book of Romans 7:1-12. This passage speaks to us about law, how it deprives us of our freedom and limits us to some certain things. The Bible gave the scenario of a married woman being bound to her husband in the bond of marriage, she must be submissive to her husband and must not commit adultery by marrying another man when her husband is still alive. Here the Bible tells us that only when the husband dies she is free from that bound and can remarry. It gives a spiritual significance that we are bound to earthly laws(sins) and Christ who died for us has brought us freedom from earthly laws – sins which lay on us as burdens. Here we're been called upon to die in what has been holding us bounded so as to enter into the newness of the spirit.

From verse 7 we were clarified that the law is not sinful but it aids to guide us away from wrong into right but it was through the law that sin arose and now we are as captives under the law. It signifies that the law was never sinful, when the law was constituted the people agreed that the law be over them to guide them but when people with evil and sinful mind arose and conspired with the law, we became as though we are forced into becoming one of them of which we are to resist completely as children of God in order not to be slaves to sin.

In summary, this passage tries to pass across a message saying that originally we were all bound to sin, enslaved to sin but Christ came and died for our redemption, we are therefore to realize it and turn away from our sinful ways or ways of oldness into the way of newness so that we may enjoy this freedom Christ purchased for us. We are still in the season of Easter where we remember that Christ died for us in atonement for our sins, so let us therefore believe in Him and follow His ways into redemption and perfection. Thanks for your time and I hope you went to church today??
