Summary

The message discusses the struggle between the law of sin in the flesh and the desire to live a holy life, drawing from Romans 7. The central message is that while believers are not free from sin, they can overcome it through the mind's determination to follow God's law. Furthermore, the speaker warns against the 'no entry roads' of self-condemnation and discouragement, emphasizing that Christian growth is a process requiring active cooperation with the Holy Spirit, as detailed in Philippians 2:12.

Waging war against the flesh and crying out for freedomPaul describes the inner conflict where our mind desires to serve God, but the law of sin in our flesh wages war and pulls us down. When we reach a place of desperate realization of our wretchedness, we find delivery through Jesus Christ.

Christian growth as a progressive processGrowth happens little by little, just like a child advancing through school from kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Until we are completely finished with the flesh, we do not need to live in condemnation or discouragement.Matthew 7:13–14

Self-condemnation and discouragement as no-entry roadsSelf-condemnation and discouragement must be treated as completely off-limits in the Christian life. While we should have sorrow for sin, we should never be discouraged since Christ has accepted us and progress is happening.

God at work inside us in the New CovenantUnlike the Old Covenant where God killed enemies on the outside, God now works inside us to give us both the will and the power to do His good pleasure.Philippians 2:13

Working out our salvation instead of being robotsGod does not make us like programmed robots; He wants us to choose His will. Temptation functions like tension in a gym that builds our spiritual muscles and makes us strong.Philippians 2:12

Going to the throne of grace in times of temptationIn moments of temptation, we can boldly approach the throne of grace to receive mercy for our past sins and grace to give us future power for overcoming.Hebrews 4:15–16

God's ability to keep us from stumblingGod is able to keep us not only from falling flat on our face, but even from stumbling over traps along the way, so we can claim His promise to keep us.
