1. What is the only means of knowing sin? “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law; for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.” Rom. 7: 7. 2. How did the sin in Paul’s life appear to him before he saw himself in the light of the law? “But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.” Rom. 7: 8. NOTE.—“Sin was dead,” in Paul before he became converted. It was not till he viewed this sin in the light of “the commandment” that he saw “wrought in me all manner of concupiscence.” 3. In what further words does Paul tell of his experiences with the law as he was being aroused from his sleep in sin? “For I was alive without the law once; but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.” Rom. 7: 9-11. 4. What is Paul’s conclusion, then, concerning the character of the law? “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.” Rom. 7: 12. 5. What was the experience of the apostle in observing the law? “For I delight in the law of God after the inward man.” Rom. 7: 22. 6. How does the psalmist say the godly man will relate himself to the law of God? “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.” Ps. 1: 1, 2. 7. What is said in another one of the Psalms of the delights of the law to the believer? “O how love I Thy law! it is my meditation all the day.” Ps. 119: 97.
