Why Every Believer Still Struggles With Sin — Romans 7:15-25

B22L12 What does it mean when Paul says, "The good I want to do, I don't — and the evil I hate, that I do"? Romans 7:15-25 finally explained. ✝️ In this verse-by-verse study of Romans 7:15-25, Paul lays bare the inner warfare every believer faces between the old Adamic nature and the new nature in Christ. You'll discover why God reckons old Adam as crucified and dead — yet why in daily experience that old nature never stops fighting. Paul cross-references Galatians 5:16-17 to show that the flesh and the Spirit are in constant warfare, and he closes with the famous cry: "O wretched man that I am — who shall deliver me?" The answer points straight ahead to Romans 8 and the power of the Holy Spirit. This lesson also tackles why the virgin birth matters to your sin nature, why positive thinking and self-help theology contradict Scripture, and what it truly means to "walk in the Spirit" and live in the liberty of Galatians 5:1. 📜 Key Topics Covered: • Romans 7:14 — The Law is spiritual; Paul is carnal, sold under old Adam • Why Adam's fall plunged all humanity under the sin nature • The virgin birth and why Christ's blood was sinless • Romans 7:15-20 — Doing what I hate and not doing what I love • Galatians 5:16-17 — The flesh wars against the Spirit • The "two dogs" illustration — which nature wins is which you feed • Romans 7:24-25 — "O wretched man" and the answer in Jesus Christ • Galatians 5:1 — Stand fast in liberty; don't return to the yoke of bondage 🔑 Romans 7:15-25 verse by verse, old nature vs new nature Bible, war between flesh and spirit Romans, Galatians 5:16 walk in the Spirit, Romans 7 wretched man explained, sin nature Bible study, Galatians 5:1 liberty in Christ, Romans 8 Holy Spirit preview. 📖 Les Feldick Bible Study brings you verse-by-verse Bible teaching that makes the scriptures come alive.
