Spiritual Dilemma

Now if I do what I do not desire

to do, it is no longer I who do it,

but sin that dwells in me.

So I find it to be a rule of action

within my being that when I want

to do what is right and good, there

is evil in me, though I desire to do good.

For I delight in the Law of God

according to the inward man.

But I see another law in my members,

at war against the law of my mind,

making me a prisoner to the law of

sin which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am!

Who will deliver me from this

body of death?

I thank God! He will through Jesus

Christ our Lord!

So then, with the mind I myself

serve the Law of God, but with the

flesh the law of sin.

( Romans 7.20-25).

Please consider these points:

1) This dual nature presents a dilemma.

2) Flesh versus mind ( carnal versus

spiritual) continue to be in conflict.

3) The only way out of this dilemma

is to submit to the Lordship of Jesus.

4) The divine rescue mission is

accomplished by Jesus Christ our

Lord and Savior who died to deliver us

from our sins and rose to grant us

eternal life with Him, with The Father

and with the Holy Spirit.
