(Roman 7: 14-17) states for we know that the Law
is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin.
For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not
practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing
the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree
with the law, confessing that the Law is
good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
As I study this scripture I find that Apostle Paul,
found himself so very far short of perfection. He appears to be carnal: like
that of a man who is sold against his will to a much hated master, from whom he
cannot set himself free. As a Christian we all unwillingly serves this hated
master, but yet cannot shake off the galling chains, until our powerful and
gracious Father from above, rescues us. The
apostle having cleared the law from the charge of being the cause either of sin
or death, and taken the blame to himself, proceeds to give an account of the
struggle and combat he found in himself between the flesh and spirit;
"that which I do, I allow not. So in other words there are two spirits living inside our bodies the old nature and the new nature. The old saying:
“old habits are hard to break” is very true and as long as we live we are going to have a constant war between the two...and it will not stop until the body goes. So to all
believers’ if it’s something that is in your old nature that you can’t control
it just...means that you have not gotten the victory yet. Just know
that our spiritual nature needs to stay in line with the word of our
King. Remember for as long as we live there will be a conflicting war
of the old nature and the new nature that lives inside our bodies. Amen
It isn't where you're from. It Is where you're at.
