Learn how the Law of Sin works to deceive and defeat us in Christianity. While the Law of God demands that we do what is right, the Law of Sin in our members takes us captive to do its will. Sin deceives us by hiding in our flesh and causing us to reject God’s clear judgment while persisting in self-righteousness and self-justification. This causes us to believe that the law is intended to be followed as a “guide” to righteousness, leading to self-deception and a hardened heart. The solution is to place our faith in the righteousness of Christ, who fulfilled the Law on our behalf and paid the penalty for our sins on the cross. This new way of living is through faith in Christ’s righteousness and not by our own efforts under the Law.
