AI generated Summary: Drawing from Romans 7, the sermon explores the paradoxical reality of ongoing spiritual conflict within the lives of believers, arguing that it is not a sign of failure but an indispensable part of God's refining process. Rather than suggesting a transition state or unregenerate condition, the speaker contends that this internal warfare—between the desires of the flesh and the law of the mind—is a vital element of holiness, demonstrating God's glory in the saints' weaknesses and contests with evil.
