Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
If you are sick and tired of your sin, you are in exactly the place God wants you. He sent a law, let's say the 10 commandments, to literally, "frustrate the hell out of you". That is, the perfection of God's law just tells us we aren't going to make it that way.
Paul uses two fantastic pictures of what this is like. The first is of PRISON. We are jailed, and held captive by this burden. The second, my personal favorite, is of a tutor. It is a teacher who constantly stands by his student, instructing: "How's the folly of keeping those commandments going? Are you perfect today? Another day of sinning? I thought so. Didn't make it by your efforts I see. Don't you think there should be a better way?" That is, the law is to put you in prison, and then nags you incessantly that you are in prison. If you are SICK and TIRED of this, then likely God is near you.
