"So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me." (Romans 7:21)
Have you discovered this principle to be true in you? Unless you have, you're not a Christian. Only a true Christian desires to do good; and ONLY a true Christian discovers that there is evil in him that works to prevent him from doing good And as such, he runs to CHRIST, WHO ALONE IS HIS LORD AND SAVIOR on the other hand; Unbelievers have no desire to do good; and unbelievers ultimately are oblivious to and negligent of the wretchedness of their hearts, because they love sin and they don't care about the wretchedness of their sins against an Almighty Holy GOD In the next verse, the Apostle Paul reiterates the same concept saying>>> "For in my inner being I delight in God’s Law. " (Romans 7:22) Are you a Christian? Are you truly Born Again? My friend, ask yourself this question>>> Do you truly delight in God's law? Only those who love the LORD delight in the holy laws of GOD THE FATHER; And only true Christians love the LORD JESUS CHRIST (1Peter 1:8) The true Christian is a New Creature in Christ, who ultimately can testify that in his innermost being, HE DELIGHTS IN THE LAWS OF GOD (Psalm 119: 16; 24; 35; 47; 70; 77; 97) Here, Paul again teaches us that, ONLY A TRUE CHRISTIAN DESIRES TO DO GOOD; ONLY A TRUE CHRISTIAN DELIGHTS IN THE LAWS OF GOD
