| Abstract | At first glance, it can appear that Paul’s understanding of the Law was contrary to the clear teachings of Old Testament scripture. For example, when Paul spoke of being “dead to” and “delivered from” the Law (Rom. 7:4, 6), he seemed to understand that the Old Testament Law was nothing but an old and dead letter (that there was nothing spiritual about it), as if Paul was ignorant of The Spirituality of the Law. Making reference to this seeming affirmation, Paul spoke of freedom from the Law on this wise, “that we should serve in newness of Spirit, and not in oldness of letter” (Rom. 7:6). This language here, in Romans 7, parallels what was spoken elsewhere in the Book of Romans on many occasions. For example, Romans 6:14 seems to attribute the condition of being “under the Law” as the dominion of sin, the opposite of being what Paul calls, “under grace”. This seems to indicate that, according to Paul, there was no saving grace or spiritual renewal existing under the Old Covenant. Albeit, it’s not what it seems. |
