There are many verses of scripture that can be used for addiction, such as Galatians 5:17-20. Are you in recovery? Or are you looking for some encouraging words for a person who is addicted? Please be a little more specific. The Apostle Paul writes: "I do not understand my own behavior; I do not act as I mean to, but I do the things that I hate. Though the will to do what is good is in me, the power to do it is not; the good thing I want to do, I never do; the evil thing which I do not want--that is what I do." Romans 7:14-24. In writing these words, Paul is talking about sin. Theologically, sin is what turns us away from love--away from love for ourselves, away from love for one another, and away from love for God. When I look at this problem psychologically, I see two forces that are responsible: repression and addiction. We all suffer from both repression and addiction. Of the two, repression is by far the milder one. God bless |
