Flesh Magnetic

The sermon explores the paradoxical role of the law in revealing and magnifying sin, not as its source but as a mirror that exposes the depth of human depravity. Drawing from Romans 7, it emphasizes that while the law is holy, spiritual, and good, it cannot save—only illuminate the sinful condition of humanity, which is rooted in the Adamic nature inherited from Adam. The preacher contrasts the law's function with the grace of God in Christ, illustrating how sin is made 'exceeding sinful' by the law, yet grace abounds even more, offering forgiveness and new life through Christ's atoning sacrifice. The internal struggle between the flesh and the Spirit is portrayed as real and ongoing, yet believers are assured that though they fail, they are no longer defined by sin—Christ lives in them, and their ultimate victory is secured in His resurrection. The message concludes with a call to persevere in faith, working out salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that God's grace is sufficient and His promise eternal.
