Day 30 0f Romans 30 day challenge!

Romans 7:13-20. 13 Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
I really love this verse because I can totally relate to Paul. Sometimes I really do want to do good and I end up doing what I hate. I know that apart from Christ there really is nothing good in me at all. I need Christ and His word to reveal the wickedness of my heart. I pray that we would look and pray to Christ to change our hearts and make them more like Him.


Sincerely, Jess
