Romans 7:22-25

22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God–through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

“But here’s what’s brilliant about [God’s] law: we can’t follow it. God purposely gave us a law we couldn’t follow, so it would point out to us how sinful we are, and lead us to Christ. That doesn’t mean the law is gone – it’s still here and we still need it and love it as David did – it just means we need the Lord. The law points out to us every day how much we need the Lord. And that’s brilliant … simply brilliant.” ~ John Fischer
