Romans 7
Oh wretched man that I am
What a sentiment?
Paul lays it out with no reservations.
I once was dead and wretched but my life giving Savior breathed on me.
And now rather than being wretched I can be righteous!
God is so amazing and forgiving...
People have done so much less to me yet I find it difficult to forgive at times.
I am responsible for Christ's death on the cross.
I am the reason the Savior was needed and sent.
That's pretty weighty!
No good dwells in me
If I am filled with sin and death, then no good dwells in me..
If my life lacks God, then no good dwells in me.
Good = God
There is no access to good or God without Jesus.
We have all been deceived into thinking we're decent and kind.
we have tricked ourselves into putting value on things of no importance to God.
We got it all figured out.
Sin is sin.
Big sin is sin.
And little sin is sin.
I can attempt to pat myself on the back because I don't murder.
But before I get too comfortable I need to remember what I do, do.
Yes wretched is a horrible word but it is also extremely relevant and fitting.
But what's even more relevant is God's grace and mercy!
