Ep 237 | Inner Conflict
Ryan Guerra, 2023 Family Camp Speaker, shares his thoughts on inner conflict. He looks at Romans 7:18-23 about not meeting God’s standards.
Scripture
Romans 7:18-23
And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.
