As we began to see yesterday, Paul saw himself as a broken, undone sinner who daily struggled to do right. Paul seems to be saying that, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t quite make it to the level of godly living that he so desired. Isn’t that the struggle that we have? Don’t we cry out, like Paul, “O wretched man that I am? Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Our answer must be the same as Paul’s answer: “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
