Warfare with Sin | Romans 7:1-25

Paul explains that although we are free from the law, the law is not meaningless nor evil. For it is through the law that we know the exceeding sinfulness of sin. Furthermore, it reveals the utter weakness of our flesh to keep the law and to fulfill our desire to be good. We want to do good, but we don't. We want to avoid evil, but we fall into it again and again. There is a battle that rages within us that traps many in a vicious cycle of guilt and attempts at good works. But there is glorious victory outside of oneself in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
