—Romans 7:14-25
by: Chris Galarneau.
Paul talks much of this internal struggle and the need to put away the old man we used to be so we can put on our new selves. This side of heaven we will not be perfect in our obedience. But we are promised that Jesus will change us from the inside out. Whereas we were once enslaved to sin, we are now free. We are able to wrestle with that nature that resides in us and in Jesus we have victory over it. Obedience comes not by trying harder, but rather by loving Jesus more deeply. He is our victory over sin and obedience grows out of our love for Him.
