God Running

I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. So–what now?–Romans 7

From the archives: This blog, which was originally published on August 2, explores the connection between the struggle Paul highlights in Romans 7 (namely, having the desire to do right while lacking the will to do it) and the interrogation of Peter and John in Acts 4. After the apostles healed a crippled man in the name of Jesus, the high priest and others interrogating them recognized that Peter and John had been with Jesus, which is precisely how we can overcome the struggle Paul outlines in Romans. The more we are with Jesus, the more we are like Jesus, and the more our will conforms to His.
