I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
- Romans 7:15So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but 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. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God – through Jesus Christ our Lord!- Romans 7:21-25
Paul, even when he became a Christian, still struggled
with sin. What he did not want to do, he
did; what he wanted to do, he didn’t do: a struggle with sin in the flesh. He wanted to do, and he did desire to do
God’s law, but seemed he was a prisoner (still) of sin. A Christian has still struggles with sin
indeed.
