I don\u2019t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.\u00a0But if I do what I don\u2019t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.\u00a0I have discovered this principle of life\u2014that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.\u00a0I love God\u2019s law with all my heart.\u00a0But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.\u00a0Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?\u00a0Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God\u2019s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin&#8230; So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Passage from New Living Translation (Life Recovery Bible&#8212;Zondervan)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"twttr_buttons\"><div class=\"twttr_twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Recovery+Scripture+00018\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-via=\"\" data-hashtags=\"\"  data-size=\"default\" data-url=\"http:\/\/www.freedomfrommedom.com\/member\/word-for-today\/romans-718-25\"  data-related=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Tweet<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romans 7:18-25; 8:1-2 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.
