Romans 7:24 There can be little question that the so prevalent in the seventh chapter, is a boro- again man trying to be a good Christian. Some would teach this as normal Christian experience and, even worse, that it was the personal condition of the apostle. Paul is using himself as an example, as he does in 1 Corinthians 4:6. Such thoughts and teaching are the result of not knowing the deliverance that Christ accomplished on the cross.

Most Christians know He died for their sins, and that is all. However, from Romans 5:12 through the eighth chapter, the Scripture teaches the believer's deliverance from sla (the nature). Not knowing deliverance from sin is the result of not knowing the total depravity of the natural man, descendant of Adam. Adam's race could never stand before God in themselves. As a race of rebels they were condemned and forever exiled from Gods presence in the death of Christ our old man is crucilied Romans The believer, at his conversion, testified, by water baptism, that the was dead and would never be seen again.

(Romans 6:4 shows that the believer is buried in baptism, and only Christ is raised up). Henceforth, only Christ is seen in him. This can only be worked out practically by the doctrine of Romans 6. Faith lays hold of the work of Christ on the cross and the believer "reckons himself dead" (Romans or puts the to death in the power of the Spirit, so that every thought, inclination and action will be toward God. This results in the believer "yielding" (Romans 6:13) his body to the indwelling Spirit (instead of to be used for the production of righteousness.

This is normal Christianity and the characteristic experience of the apostle Paul. That is why he could say: "Be ve followers of me, even as I also am of Christ," (1 Corinthians How we should join Paul in thankfulness to God for His answer to the question of who shal deliver from the body of this death: "I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord."
