- We have died to the Law through Christ's body
- Being bound to Christ allows us to bear good fruit for God.
- We are no longer captives under the law but are free to serve the Spirit.
- The law itself is not sin but a means to show us how we sin.
- The law makes sin alive so that we can see it.

- Sin deceived and killed us.
- The law exposes sin as sin.
- I do not do the things I want to do but the very things I hate
- Nothing good is in me in the flesh.
- I desire to do what is right but not the ability to do it.

- The is an inner war waging that holds me captive in my sin.
- Through Christ I can serve God in my mind even when my flesh follows the law of sin.

Hebrews 8
- We do have a high priest seated at God's right hand.
- Earthly priests offer a shadow of heavenly things since they too need to offer a sacrifice for themselves.
- Christ offers better promises than Moses could have because the covenant is better.
- Moses' covenant was not faultless, so a second one was still needed through Christ.
- In the OT the Lord said a day was coming when He'd enact a new covenant with the house of Judah.
- The new covenant will be different from the first because the people could not keep it.
- God promised to put the law into their hearts and minds in the new covenant.
- They will no longer need to teach each other because they shall all know God.
- God promised, even then, that He will no longer remember their sins under the new covenant.
- The second covenant made the first one obsolete. It vanished away.
