If Christ has overcome, and when we are in Christ and Christ in us, we are overcomers, why is our walk with Christ in this world such a battle? The answer is that we are in a war. Not the way you may think, but just as real. We are in a 'reigning war' to see who will reign as King in our lives. Remember, our FAITH is the battlefield where the WORD and the WORLD wage war for our WILL.
This Sunday, as Doug continues Romans 7, we see that the presence of the war is actually a good thing.
Don't believe it? Just come and see for yourself!
Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! — Romans 7:24–25a
