The Bible teaches that all of us are sinners. It just comes natural for us to do the wrong thing. Even when we really want to do what is right, we eventuallydo something wrong. We can try all kinds of self-help programs or 12-step plans, but ultimately, our problem lies in our own inner nature. In Romans 7 the apostle Paul talked about his struggle with his sinful nature, and asked the agonizing question "Who shall deliver me from this body of death?"
Thankfully, Paul goes on to chapter 8 where he finds the answer in Jesus Christ. Only He can set us free from our sins and empower us to live a holy life. As we daily yield to Jesus, He can set us free from the sins that drag us down.
