Romans 7:21-25 serves as the climactic conclusion to Paul's exposition of the believer's relationship to the law and provides one of Scripture's clearest descriptions of the spiritual warfare within every regenerate believer. This passage directly addresses the charge that Paul's doctrine of justification by faith renders the law useless or evil. The apostle systematically demonstrates that while believers are dead to the law as a covenant of works, they continue to experience ongoing conflict with the remnants of their corrupt nature. Understanding this passage correctly is essential for proper biblical counseling, discipleship, and personal spiritual growth. The text reveals the dual nature present in every true believer—the new man that delights in God's law and the old man that remains addicted to sin .
