Section 3
testimony for You among my family and friends. Therefore, I am making up my mind that from now on I will never lose my temper again." In praying this way you make a strict law for your self regarding losing your temper. This new law is your eleventh commandment. Moses gave ten commandments, but you make another com mandment, the commandment about not losing your temper. However, when you lose your tem per after making such a law, your temper kills you. It takes advantage of your self-made law to put you to death. If you lose your temper in the morning, you may be killed for the whole day. But when you lost your temper in the past, you did not sense the killing, because you had not made a law about losing your temper. The more laws we make, the more we shall be killed. Re member, sin always takes advantage of the com mandment to put us to death.
THE BODY OF THIS DEATH
In Romans 7:24 Paul declares, "Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death?" In this verse Paul speaks of "this death," which is the very death defined in Romans 7. It is important to know what is the death revealed and explained in this chapter.
