We Wouldn't Have Known | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.48

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: Romans 7:7, 12"What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, 'You shall not covet.' ... So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good." (NIV)A child is told not to open one drawer — and suddenly it's the only thing in the house they can think about. Paul noticed the same pattern in himself: a single command was what finally showed him a desire he never knew was there. So did the command create it, or just uncover it? Paul clears the law's name — but the answer doesn't let us off the hook either. Whatever gets exposed in you today doesn't have to stay hidden. It can actually be healed.This episode is part of our season through Romans. New devotionals added regularly.This content was carefully selected and prepared by M.Div. students and faculty.
