Romans 7 Summary

Romans 7 wrestles with the struggle against sin, where we do what we hate, and points to deliverance through Jesus Christ.

Paul describes the inner war: ‘I do not do the good I want to do.’ The law is good, but sin uses it to expose our weakness.

The cry ‘Who will rescue me?’ finds its answer: ‘Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord.’
