When I Would Do Good, Evil Is Present, Part 1 (Rom. 7:21-23)

Summary

The sermon explores the internal struggle described by Paul in Romans 7:21-23, where the desire to do good is met with the presence of evil due to the conflict between the spiritual and carnal natures within believers. Elder Buddy Abernathy emphasizes that this struggle is evidence of being a child of God and highlights the ongoing warfare between the flesh and the spirit. The message offers comfort in the assurance that deliverance comes through Jesus Christ, despite the persistent battle with sin. The sermon also clarifies that walking after the Spirit refers to the motivation given by the new nature, not perfect obedience.
