So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. - Romans 7:21 –23 (ESV)

I believe that God's word is completely true. God doesn't lie. However, if I'm honest, there are passages that I read that just don't match up with my experience or my feelings. When Paul says Romans 6 that I'm 'dead to sin' my skepticism grows. Am I really? When he says 'I'm no longer a slave to sin but righteousness' that's not what it feels like in the struggle to do right. Do you feel like me?

This week we get to a passage that will probably ring more true in your experience. In Romans 7 , Paul gets personal. Some might even say too personal. He opens up about his own struggle as one trusting in Christ but living in this fallen world.

Take a few minutes and read the last half of Romans 7 , starting in verse 13. Can you relate to Paul? Come hear how this helps us to reconcile what we were, where we are going, and the struggle in between.
