So the bottom line so far in Romans 7 is that the reason we need to die to the Law is not because the Law is sin, but because the Law is weak and vulnerable, and we are utterly sinful. Therefore, the Law cannot be the first and decisive means of our justification or our sanctification, because when the commandment comes our sin rises up, comes alive, and uses the commandment to kill us, not save us. Verse 11 gives the key word to explain how sin does this killing work through the commandments. S in, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. Sin uses the commandments to deceive us.
Sin is fundamentally a liar.
Sin kills by deceit and superficial logic. You need a good night s rest. But you are tense and can t sleep. A sleeping pill might help. The instructions hold out hope for pretty good rest if you take a pill.
