There’s a lot of people trying to be wh

There’s a lot of people trying to be what they already are
Romans 7

1. This new life in Christ means you don’t have to try anymore. It’s a new life, v1-6
The Law of God (trying to be good) has not died, we have. The Law still declares the lifestyle that pleases God but we are dead to trying to please God by living that lifestyle.
This new life is a life of the Spirit.

2. This new life in Christ means if you try to be what you already are, you will fail, v7-13.
Whatever part of the godly lifestyle you set your focus on it will only show you how far short you have failed to keep the standard.
The law (trying to be good) was always meant to establish guilt for sin not be a means for salvation.

3. This new life in Christ means if you try to be what you already are then you will not be true to yourself, v14-24
The Law (trying to be good) cannot change you nor help you into freedom and certainly cannot set you free.

Stop trying.
Start being.
Freedom is not what I can do for Him
But what He can do through me.
