Romans 7:15-25
One of the easiest ways to defeat is to never realize that you are in a war. In Romans 7 we see the instructions for us to withstand the onslaught of Satan and sin. We must realize the danger that is at work to make our lives ineffective and defeated for Jesus Christ.
Death is Satan’s Chant. Satan wants us consumed with death—God wants us to be consumed with life, Jesus Christ came that we may have life, and have it “more abundantly.”
The conflict is between the Spirit and the Flesh, or the ways of God and the ways of human. The victory is not through reform, more rule keeping, more doing. The victory is living the life of the Crucified One, and not making any provisions for the way of the flesh.
