What is Paul reconstructing in Romans 7?
In Romans 7, Paul is reconstructing how he had to deal with the old Adam as he came under his conversion experience when he met Christ on the road to Damascus. The passage reviews that internal struggle surrounding his Damascus road encounter.
Les explains that Romans chapter 7, beginning where the previous program ended at verse 14, has Paul looking back and reconstructing how he had to deal with the old Adam. That struggle is tied to the conversion experience when he met Christ on the road to Damascus. Les notes they may finish Romans 7 and start chapter 8 in the program, but the main point here is Paul's review of his old Adam conflict under that Damascus road conversion.
