Romans 7:15, 19, 24-25

I’m a mystery to myself, for I want to do what is right, but end up doing what my moral instincts condemn.

My lofty desires to do what is good are dashed when I do the things I want to avoid.

What an agonizing situation I am in! So who has the power to rescue this miserable man from the unwelcome intruder of sin and death? I give all my thanks to God, for his mighty power has finally provided a way out through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! So if left to myself, the flesh is aligned with the law of sin, but now my renewed mind is fixed on and submitted to God’s righteous principles.
