Sin Problem

For Thursday, August 31, 2023:

Romans 7:15 NLT: “I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.”

OK – Show of hands: How many of us can identify with Paul’s dilemma? When at the end of the day, we reflect on that day’s events, we find some sinful incidents when our goal was to remain sinless. It’s confusing to Paul, and should be confusing to us as well.

Fortunately our old self died with Christ, and our new self is living under the New Covenant: love, forgiveness and second chances. Our goal is to live a good life and to unflinchingly stick with Jesus.

As for the sin issue, Jesus has our back!
