If you have been a Christian for longer than 2 hours you have experienced what the Apostle Paul is talking about here. There is in us the desire to follow God and obey Him wholeheartedly, but when we try to put it into practice we fail. Oh the frustration! Paul says it best...Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Thank you Lord for sending us Jesus who can give us the ability that we lack to carry out the good works you have planned for us. Though we, in our flesh, cannot accomplish (from the heart) the good we are to do, Jesus transforms us into His image as we abide in Him, allowing us (from the heart) to carry out the good that God commands us to do. Thank you Jesus!
In the Grace of Christ,
Pastor Alan
Discussion Point
