This episode is a recap of the previous week's teaching on Psalm 119, emphasizing the common threads of God's work in establishing our way, ultimately leading to a genuinely positive delight in God's law. Since the law is a reflection of God's character and beauty, love of God coupled with disdain for God's Law is inconceivable. While true believers would never seek to justify themselves by keeping God's Law, they nevertheless delight in that Law based on being born again. Romans 7:22 affirms that they "delight with the Law of God in the inner man." The episode closes with Jonathan Edwards' phraseology describing believers' delight in God's holiness described in the Law. Christians alone can apprehend the "beauty of holiness."
Don’t Be A Romans 7 Christian
This episode challenges all believers NOT to be Romans 7 Christians. Many believers correctly observe that half of Romans 7 describes the struggle between flesh and spirit in gory, pessimistic terms. Paul even states that he is a "prisoner of the law of sin and death."
