please tell me what this scripture means??? I'm totally open to hear all opinions and revelations,,,,???
Romans 7:13 Wherefore is that which is good
( MADE DEATH in ME ), God forbid,
( B U T ) that ( SIN MIGHT APPEAR SIN ) by ( WORKING DEATH in ME ) by. that which is good, (( that sin by the comandment might become exceedingly sinful)).
Where is the law is now for every believer,,, for all who are born again have this gift,,,, The law written in ours hearts worketh death, It is gods covenant with us.
Hebrews 8
8. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel,,,,,
10. For this is the covenant that I will makel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11. And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
So God says in 8:10 " I will put my laws into their mind, and will write his law in our hearts". We already know in 7:13 law
lets sin to appear sin by working death in us. God cannot look on sin so he convicts us by placing his laws in our hearts and minds and leting us feel conviction, the seperations of the second death, the illuminator, enlightner, the light of john 3:21 that makes manifest our deeds.
Last,,,, hebrews 8::11,,,, for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
. So every christian has the New Covenant Law written in their hearts, from the least to the greatest. Praise God.... and that laws does what it always has done,,, brings us to christ and works death in us and allows sin to apear to be sin by woeking death in us.

confirmation of this scripture,,,,
Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
20. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,
22Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Here Gods words carries us futher,,, he says,,,,
20. Its the new and living way that he has consecrated for us by his flesh.
And 22. having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
Our minds, and hearts is sprinkled and washed with Christ's blood because we are under the new covenant and God is working in our own hearts and minds.
This is sound doctrine,,,, futher proof and simple to understand.
Romans 1:19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Here again God is manifesting in them and showing it in them.
20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
HERE GOD says the invisible things of him are understood by the things which are made,,,, YOU AND I ,,,, even his eternal Power,,, and God head,,,, so that we are wothout excuse,,,,
NO EXCUSES,,, because he is written and living in our hearts.
Check this out,,,,, 28. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind,
If God keeps on convicting us and we do not respond to it nor want to retian God in our knowledge he can give us over to reprobate minds,,, no hope,,, not knowing right from wrong anymore...
29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, ,
31. Without understanding, covenantbreakers,
32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
SO WE BECOME COVENANT BREAKERS,,,breaking his new convenant of the written law in our hearts,,, we dont want him nor retian him anymore,,, and we are as he said worthy of the second D,,E,,A,,T,,H,,,, SEPERATION,, FROM HIM,,,
FUTHER PROOF,,,
Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
HERE IT IS CALLED THE GOODNESS OF GODThat is leading thee to repentance,,,
Yes the Law according to romans 7:11 which is Good ( goodness) and holy and by working death in you leads you to repentance,,,, by working death in us,,,,
and is causing sin to be sin,,,
This is why I say that conviction is the second greatest expression of God's Love. His goodness,,, for without repentance we would not get back to God.
:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Here we must be doers of the Law,,we must repsond to the working of the law in our hearts,
Not the old law of Moses but the new law of God written in our hearts and minds,,, and that leads us to convictions or the working of death.
WOW< WOW< WOW< read this,,,,
14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Totally WOW< WOW< Paul said these gentiles show the
,,, Here me now,,,show, THE, W,,O,,R,,K,,S,, of the LAW,
WRITTEN IN THEIR HEARTS,,,, ( AND THEIR MINDS) their conscience bearing them witness,,
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5For they that are after the flesh ,,,,"Do mind",,,, the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6For to be "Carnally Minded is death,,, Sepration from God"; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW,,
11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also ,,,,,,,, quicken your mortal bodies,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you,,,,,,.
26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the ,,,,,,,,,,Spirit itself maketh intercession for us,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, with groanings which cannot be uttered,,,,,,,,.
27And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

:glow: You have brought that scripture to life for me and others! It is so exciting to know that God has given us the power through the Holy Spirit that is the same power that brought Jesus back to life! When I get really down, as I have been this past week, it is a great help to me for someone with a gift like yours to bring such words of encouragement. "I CAN do all things through Christ which strengthens me." Phillipians 4:13
I thank God for you and for your sharing the scripture.
