"Oh What A Wretched Man I Am! "

Ceaseless warfare!
(Arthur Pink)

"Behold, I am vile!" Job 40:4

"I know that nothing good lives in me, 

that is, in my sinful nature. For I have 

the desire to do what is good, but I 

cannot carry it out!" Romans 7:18

"For the sinful nature desires what 
is contrary to the SPIRIT, and 
the SPIRIT what is contrary 
to the sinful nature. They are in 
conflict with each other, so that you 
do not do what you want." Galatians 5:17

Though grace had entered Job's heart, 

his native depravity had not been 

expelled. Though sin no longer 

had dominion over him--

it often raged and 

prevailed against him.

There is ceaseless warfare within 

between the flesh and the spirit. 

There is no need for us to enlarge 

on this, for every Christian, because 

of the plague of his heart, groans 

within himself, 

"Oh what a wretched man I am! 
Who will free me from this life that 
is dominated by sin and death!" 
Romans 7:24
