Blessed Are The Bankrupt (Romans 7:24–25)

Paul's testimony in Romans 7 reveals a war within, a battle between the law of God and the law of sin. He cries out for deliverance from the body of death, but acknowledges his own corruption and sinfulness. Paul's experience is not one of mountaintop experiences, but rather a daily struggle with sin. He knows that the flesh is impossible to cast out and that true spiritual warfare involves acknowledging and battling one's own sin. Paul's prayer is not one of defeat, but rather a prayer of reality and acknowledgement of his own sinfulness and God's holiness. [... more]
