📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
ROMANS 7:21-23 - So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.

| 0:00.0 | It is time to rise and shine and to be the follower of Christ you are created to be. I'm Carrie Green. This is |

| 0:26.6 | Yesterday in the morning mindset addition we identified where our struggle, the |
| 0:32.4 | inner struggle that we all experience comes from. It does not |
| 0:36.9 | happen because there is an old person inside of you, that old pre-Christian person who is still alive and fighting you. |
| 0:45.7 | It does not happen because there is a sin nature inside of you that is striving to come out. Some of your versions, if you're reading a new international version in particular, |
| 0:56.0 | this passage of Romans Chapter 7, |
| 1:00.0 | will use the phrase, sin nature. |
| 1:03.0 | But that phrase is not in the original text, it's not in the Greek. |
| 1:09.0 | The new international version, very well meaning in its intention, is trying to communicate a concept, |
| 1:17.8 | but I believe in this case has gotten the concept wrong, because that word that is used for flesh in the E. S. V. and in the New American |
| 1:27.5 | standard translation is literally the human body, the human flesh, which is still a container for the power of |
| 1:38.1 | sin. |
| 1:39.1 | And it makes sense, your human body has not been redeemed yet. And so the power of sin dwells within your body. |
| 1:47.0 | And it's that power of sin that has tainted the entire world that has warped all of creation that is fighting against the |
| 1:55.7 | redeemed you that the Holy Spirit has created, the new creation that you really are. |
| 2:02.1 | And that is incredibly good news because now we can know we are |
| 2:06.0 | not a person who is divided. We are not one side good, one side bad. that is bad theology |
| 2:14.8 | Romans chapter 7 tells us we are new creations just like Paul we long to do the good will of God |
| 2:23.0 | But this power called sin that lives in our mortal body |
| 2:28.0 | is fighting against us. |
| 2:31.0 | It's not us. |
