When we were controlled by our old nature,
sinful desires were at work within us,
and the law aroused these evil desires that
produced sinful deeds, resulting in death.
How would you know if what you were doing were right or wrong? Some situations are really easy to determine, but others can be really tough. Because of this difficulty, some may say that truth is relative to the situation. It's even possible that whatever passes as a proper practice in one culture might even be deemed wrong in another culture. Paul writes in Romans 7:25, “Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.” Jesus Christ is the truth and the life according to John 14:6, therefore making His word the standard for truth. If you know the Truth and are obedient to Him, you will not fall into your old sinful nature. When it comes to Jesus, the truth is never "relative" because His truth is absolute.
