Calvinists and Arminians have debated the context and meaning of this text for centuries. As usual, the Reformers had it right. Christians do not become instantly obedient to God’s law upon their regeneration, but fight an internal battle their whole lives, until God takes them to glory. As Paul warns in Galatians, do not try to finish in the flesh, the work that God began by the Spirit.
Sermon Text: Romans 7:13-25
Old Testament Supporting Text: Psalm 51
