“For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sinโ because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.”
I know what’s the right thing to do, but I can’t. I just can’t.
Have you ever felt powerless to change something in your life? Paul describes such helplessness in Romans 7:18 where he writes: “For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out”.
