Our passage is Romans 7:7-25. This passage is somewhat controversial as Paul lays out the struggle against sin and the use of the law in that struggle. Is this the struggle of one who is not yet a believer? Or, is this the ongoing struggle of the believer? We will consider how Paul describes this struggle for himself and the encouragement it is for us as believers. We will consider these three points:
1. The evangelical purpose of the law. (vv. 7-13)
2. The ongoing conflict in the believer. (vv. 14-23)
3. The cry of faith in the midst of the struggle. (vv. 24-25)
