Bible Note: Your question, "Have you noticed that Rom. 7:14-25 doesn't describe a struggle to avoid sin, but a complete inability to avoid sin?" is something I had thought of but failed to note in these discussions. I appreciate your observations and pointing this out. The Christian life is not one of being overcome by sin but of overcoming sin. If one is overcome by sin, I would think that person needs to rethink his/her position in Christ. Holiness is not a thing of dreams. |
