Sacred Seconds: Romans 7:15 (KJV)

Romans 7:15 says, "for that which I do I allow not for what I would that do I not, but what I hate, that do I."

In this verse, Paul describes the inner conflict experienced by believers who desire to live according to God's law but are hindered by their sinful nature.

Paul admits that he often finds himself doing what he hates rather than what he wants to do. This struggle highlights the tension between the desire to do good and the reality of sin.

Pauls transparency about his struggle serves as a powerful reminder that even devoted believers face this internal battle.

The verse emphasizes that human effort will never be enough.

It requires reliance on Gods grace and through Jesus Christ our Lord for true transformation.

Confess your sins regularly, depend on Gods grace, and seek victory in Jesus.

Allow God to give you a new heart free from the law of sin, and rely not on human effort to achieve righteousness.
