Romans 7:18 ” I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.”

Even as a new creation in Christ, we still struggle with sin. We desire to do what is upright, virtuous, and morally good…but our corrupt human nature makes it hard to accomplish. But we need to then remember Galatians 5:24 tells us that “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.” For as followers of Christ, the Cross not only broke the grip of the Law, but of the flesh. So, by faith, we can recognize the reality of our union with Christ in His life, death, and resurrection – for we too have been raised to new life in the Spirit of Christ – the old is gone, for we are now a new creation. (II Corinthians 5:17)
