The Struggle Within | Romans 7 Explained: Why Believers Still Battle Sin

The Struggle Within | Romans 7 Explained: Why Believers Still Battle Sin

What if the real war is not between you and God’s Law, but between you and the sin that twists it? What if Paul’s desperate cry in Romans 7, “Wretched man that I am,” is not defeat, but discovery?

In this powerful teaching, Dr. Shawn M. Greener, Follower of the Way, unpacks Romans 7:14–25 through the Hebraic and Ancient Near Eastern worldview. Discover why the struggle you feel inside is not a sign of failure but a sign of life. The unregenerate feel no battle. Only those filled with the Spirit wrestle between light and darkness.

• Why Paul’s “struggle with the flesh” reveals covenant faithfulness, not hypocrisy.

• What “sold under sin” meant in the Greco-Roman slave market and why that image matters today.

• The difference between the law of God and the law of sin.

• How to tell conviction from condemnation.

• The five-step Battle Plan to walk in victory through the power of the Spirit.

🌮 Taco Tony returns with humor and wisdom, reminding us that “the Law without the Spirit is like a taco shell with no filling. You have structure but no sustenance.”
