Fight The Good Fight Of Faith. by kay1one2(m): 9:15am On Apr 23, 2015
Romans 7:14-25 NIV

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work: Although 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 me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.




Victory over sin has a lot more to do with just self will or ethical resolve. By the sin of Adam we are sold off as slaves to sin. But by the blood of the Lamb of God Jesus, we are made brand new.
Now by walking in faith in what Christ has done for us on Calvary, we can attain victory over the works of the flesh and live victorious lives!
Walk in faith. Watch victories manifest!
