"For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" (vv. 19, 24)...Those of us from a Reformation perspective, however, would probably say there is no better description of the Christian life in the entire Bible than Romans 7. The reformers really believed that the Christian life was a matter of being simul iustus et peccator -- simultaneously justified and sinful -- and that we would remain in this tension until death....Good works are done out of thankfulness of heart by the believer who has been saved, not by one who is trying to be saved by following the law.
Amen. Wonderful article, GC.
