Rm7

Imagine what it would be like to have no desire to sin! For now, as christians our desires are in conflict. On the one hand, we want to please God, and on the other hand, we continue to sin. When we get to heaven those conflicts will be no more. We will no longer even have a desire to sin.

Even the apostle Paul recognized the reality of sin living in him. It lives in all of us! As long as we live we will be burdened with our fleshly desires. Apart from God's Spirit, we would not even know those desires are evil.

When we allow sin to be spoken of as "good" we know that we have drifted far from God. When pride, arrogance, greed, lust and other sins become attractive rather than repulsive…we are swimming in godlessness. We live in this day.
