Verse Takeaways

Victory is in Christ Alone
In response to the desperate cry for rescue in the previous verse, Paul's immediate answer is not a method, but a person: Jesus Christ. Commentators emphasize that this is a triumphant shout of thanksgiving. Deliverance from the internal war with sin is not achieved by willpower or law-keeping, but is a gift received entirely through Jesus, establishing the gospel's superiority over any human effort.
