So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

 

The apostle Paul gives us a vulnerability that is rare in ancient writings. And thank God that he does! He gives us permission to face the problem that we all wrestle with – the sin nature. To ignore the sin nature is denial, to surrender to the sin nature brings defeat, but to see our sin through the cleansing work of the cross of Jesus Christ brings deliverance. Thanks be to God!
