The power of sin can lead even the best of us to make poor decisions. And while sin no longer reigns over those who have been set free through Christ, we are not immune to its temptations or effects.
Paul's use of himself as an example provides a clear picture of the struggle under the Law, a reminder to not only acknowledge my shortcomings but also to lean into God's grace even more. "Boasting in my weakness" has been a cornerstone verse that I try to repeat daily, because I need the reminder.
I like the imagery of sin no longer being able to dwell within us. The dwelling place has a new tenant, one that cannot be evicted. Great article and thank you for sharing!
