I've Got Issues

I Am My Own Worst Enemy

Romans 7:15-19

"I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

Galatians 5:17

"For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want."

Romans 8:7-8

"For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will. 8 That's why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God."

Romans 8:6

"The mind controlled by the sinful nature leads to death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit leads to life and peace."

Romans 7:24

Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?

Romans 7:18

"For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out."

Romans 7:25

"Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord."
