Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast, we are going to be having a conversation about why you and why we can't stop sinning.
In other words, we're having a conversation about Romans chapter 7.
And we acknowledge that there's been some debate about this passage throughout the history of the church as to whether Paul is writing as a Christian, as a regenerate man, or writing about himself, or maybe a hypothetical person in
an unregenerate state.
If you've ever wondered about that, today's pod is for you.
So, we're going to do a little bit of that textual work.
We're going to go through the passage and try to explain it and expound on it a little bit, and then talk pastorly about the sinner-saint reality, about our battle against the flesh, about how with Paul we so often
find ourselves not doing what we want to do and doing the evil things that we don't want.
And this is our experience, this side of the resurrection.
So take heart, weary saint.
Christ has us, Christ will finally deliver us.
There will come a day when we will be freed from sinning.
We hope this podcast is helpful for you as you think about living between this day and that one.
Stay tuned.
We are excited to announce we have a brand new podcast available called the Kingsmen Podcast.
It's where we are reclaiming biblical mandate by training and equipping men for the work of the kingdom.
You can find it anywhere you download a podcast.
You can also watch it on YouTube.
