A long time ago I wrote about Romans 7 and the alignment I have with Paul’s thoughts there. It seemed like a good time to revisit that post.
Take a look:
It’s been almost 7 years since I wrote those words. I’m a different person in many ways from that day. A ‘better’ version of me, I would suggest. But yet, I still find some much commonality with these words.
21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am!
I suppose I will be a wretched man until the Lord calls me home. I am so thankful that his blood was shed and my righteousness is based on his righteous and not my own.
