Romans 6:2b - "How shall we who died to sin still live in it?"
Fascinating. We were dead in our sins, He saved us, and now we live in that dead place by choice. Rather than dying to our sins daily, so often we choose to die in sin. Why do I let it get the better of me?
Romans 7:15 - "For that which I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate."
Ah! I would read this verse today. It's been on my mind non-stop. It's not an excuse, as some have claimed it. I see it as a blessed reminder that even Paul did what he knew he should not, but at the same time it is a challenge to be better.
