EPISODE 278 — Romans 7:15–25 (Part 1): The War Within 🍻📖
Ever read Romans 7 and think, “That’s me”?
Paul puts words to the tension every Christian knows:
I want to obey… but I don’t.
I hate the sin… yet I keep stumbling into it.
This episode is a reminder: there are no shortcuts in sanctification.
God often frees us slowly, not because He’s absent—but because He’s teaching us to depend on grace, not grit.
And we push back on the “two-tier Christian” idea (ordinary vs. Spirit-filled elite). The Bible doesn’t give us a higher class of believers—it gives us a Savior who keeps meeting sinners with mercy.
If you’re battling a besetting sin, exhausted by the cycle, or hearing the accuser’s voice… hear this:
“My grace is sufficient for you.” (2 Cor. 12:9)
Keep fighting. Keep confessing. Keep running.
Grace doesn’t excuse the war—it wins it.
