OCT 18 – ROMANS 7:17-21

10/18          Romans 7:17-21 

So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. 18And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. 19 I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. 20 But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. 21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 

SIN

Sin is real, it is enslaving and only in Jesus can we deal with our sin.  We need a new heart and a new mind and forgiveness for our sin.  Jesus does this for us.  His gift free-life is a grace gift.  Jesus is Lord.
