Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." — Romans 7:25 (ASV)
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 7:25)
It will be done. I shall be delivered. I shall be perfect.
"Oh, blissful hour! oh, sweet abode!
I shall be near and like my God."
Oh! to be without fault before the throne, without tendency to sin, without the possibility of it, immaculately clean, with a heart that sends forth pure waters like the river of life that flows from beneath the throne of God! This is our portion. We are looking for it, and we will never rest until we get it, blessed be his name. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 7:25)
But with the flesh the law of sin. (Romans 7:25)
With the flesh—this old, worthless stuff that must die and be buried, and the sooner the better. With my old corrupt nature I serve the law of sin. But what a mercy it is that the next verse states, despite that, There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1)
So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God;
With the new mature.
