Chapter 7 is a clear instruction to all people to free themselves from the law of sin.

1.First we have to abandon completely our desires for worldly pleasures.When we do this we die in Christ as symbolized by the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross.
When we get rid of our sinful desires then we are free from sin because those who are 'dead' cannot sin.We become free through death in Christ like a woman whose husband is dead is no longer bound by the law of the husband.

2.We should then ask for God's forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, the Messiah so that we start a completely new life that leads us to etrnal life in the glory of God as symbolised by Jesus Christ's resurrection from death into the glory of Heaven.Once we die in Christ by His Grace
God lifts us to His Glory.Once we abandon all the worldly persuts and desires by His Grace God lifts us up to His Glory.

We have two choices dear brothers and sisters.

We either
1. Obey our fleshly desires and become servants of sin leading to our permanent death.
Or
2. Obey the Word of God,Jesus Christ, the Messiah and become servants of righteousness leading to Salvation and eternal life in the glory of God All Mighty.

Remember you can only become a servant to that which you follow.
