You are free :listen: to obey.

"I. SPIRITUAL PEOPLE AND THE LAW (7:1–6)
A. Their relationship to the law (7:1–3, 5)
1. They are like widows freed from their husbands (7:1–3).
2. They are like dead men freed from their lusts (7:5) .
B. Their relationship to the Savior (7:4, 6)
1. They have been raised by Christ (7:4a, 6): They are released from the law.
2. They are now to produce fruit through Christ (7:4b): Thus spiritual people are delivered from the law.


II. NATURAL PEOPLE AND THE LAW (7:7–13): The law is used in a twofold manner.
A. The illustration usage (7:7, 10): God used the law to reveal the sinfulness of the flesh.
B. The condemnation usage (7:8–9, 11–13): Sin used the law to rekindle the sinfulness of the flesh. Thus natural people are doomed by the law.


III. CARNAL PEOPLE AND THE LAW (7:14–26)
A. Paul has learned that any attempt to keep the law leads to carnality (7:14–23).
1. The confusion (7:14–16): Paul’s frustration is twofold.
a. He doesn’t do the things he wants to do (7:14–15a, 16a).
b. He does the things he doesn’t want to do (7:15b, 16b).
2. The corruption (7:17–20): He realizes the total corruption of his old sinful nature.
3. The conclusion (7:21–23): He understands the daily struggle within him.
a. The old nature, always attempting to do wrong (7:21a, 23)
b. The new nature, always attempting to do right (7:21b–22)
B. Paul has learned that no attempt to keep the law can lead to spirituality (7:24–25).
1. The agony of Paul’s problem (7:24) : “What a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin?”
2. The answer to Paul’s problem (7:25) : “Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.”" Willmington, H. L. (1999). The Outline Bible (Ro 7). Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers.

Ok, now time warp to Samuel, who was commissioned by God to find Israel's King.

I'll post the direct scripture here. (In other words, I'm copying and pasting it.)

1 Samuel 16:

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or his stature, because I have rejected him. Man does not see what the Lord sees, for man sees what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart.”

Now for a little biblical slight of hand.... [emoji6]

I'm posting all of Isaiah 53 to make a point, and allow context, but just focus on the bolder portion, and tell me if you see the relationship of these passages and yet the inconsistency.

Isaiah 53

Who has believed what we have heard?
And who has the arm of the Lord been revealed to?

2 He grew up before Him like a young plant
and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form
or majesty that we should look at Him,
no appearance that we should desire Him.

3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.
He was like someone people turned away from;
He was despised, and we didn’t value Him.
4 Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses,
and He carried our pains;
but we in turn regarded Him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was pierced because of our transgressions,
crushed because of our iniquities;
punishment for our peace was on Him,
and we are healed by His wounds.
6 We all went astray like sheep;
we all have turned to our own way;
and the Lord has punished Him
for[c] the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open His mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter
and like a sheep silent before her shearers,
He did not open His mouth.
8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment;
and who considered His fate?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
He was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
9 They[e] made His grave with the wicked
and with a rich man at His death,
although He had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully.
10 Yet the Lord was pleased to crush Him severely.
When[g] You make Him a restitution offering,
He will see His seed, He will prolong His days,
and by His hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.
11 He will see it out of His anguish,
and He will be satisfied with His knowledge.
My righteous Servant will justify many,
and He will carry their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give Him the many as a portion,
and He will receive the mighty as spoil,
because He submitted Himself to death,
and was counted among the rebels;
yet He bore the sin of many
and interceded for the rebels.

...............Do you see how the instructions of Samuel parallel the bolded scripture, before Samuel saw David, the greatest King of flesh to Israel?

We are going to beat the day lights out of this scripture.

Ok - but the Samuel scripture isn't about David.

Are the 10 commandments part of the New Covenant?

When did God nail do not murder (Ex 20:13) do not commit adultery (Ex 20:14) to the cross? Mal 4:4-6, Mt 24:14 Grace for the greasy gracer
elvis.gif
is to continue on in sin. Grace for the believer :straight: is to repent. The former are not going in the rapture.

The latter are. :rapture: You harvest fruit not non-fruit. Mt 3:8

I am asking a specific question about adultery and the law and if there is one rule for women and another for men.

In the context of the Law of Moses women were the property of their husband.

The Law of Moses has no jurisdiction over the church of God.

It precedes the anointing of David in context.

But, yes, it is God explaining that a strapping son was not the mission, but to find the Son based on his Heart.

The son of strength was to be looked over for a boy of heart.

Do you see how Isaiah 53 describes Jesus as heart and not stature?

Now back to the boy.

To jump back and go straight into the verbiage about David...

The Lord answered, “Take a young cow with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ 3 Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will let you know what you are to do. You are to anoint for Me the one I indicate to you.”

Do you see any Jesus verbiage in these words?

Perhaps Samuel paralleling John the Baptist?

Anointing the future king of Israel?

Do you glean any Christologic message besides what I mentioned and do you see what I mentioned?
