Handling My Humanity Part 2 20 Reasons Not To Sin

Romans 7:16-17 I know perfectly well that what I am doing is wrong, and my bad conscience shows that I agree that [God’s] law is good. But I can’t help myself, because it is sin inside me that makes me do these evil things.
Romans 7:18 I know I am rotten through and through so far as my old sinful nature is concerned. No matter which way I turn, I can’t make myself do right. I want to, but I can’t.
Romans 7:19-20 When I want to do good, I don’t. And when I try not to do wrong, I do it anyway. But if I am doing what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing it; the sin within me is doing it.
Romans 7:21 It seems to be a fact of life that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.
Romans 7:22-23 I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another law at work within me that is at war with my mind. This law wins the fight and makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.
Romans 7:24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin?
To what may a sinner be compared? To one who beholds open handcuffs and places his hands into them. The Jerusalem Talmud
