The War Within - Romans 7:14–25

Why do we keep doing what we know is wrong? In Romans 7:14–25, Paul describes the painful reality of the struggle within, the desire to do what is good, while discovering that knowing what is right does not give us the power to do it. The problem isn't simply that we need more information, greater discipline, or stronger willpower. We need a deliverer. Pastor Raf explores the war between the desire to follow God and the power of sin still at work within us, and points us toward the answer Paul gives: “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The Christian life isn't about trying harder to save ourselves. It is about trusting Jesus and yielding to the power of His Spirit. This message looks at: • Why knowing what is right isn't enough • The power of sin within us • Why self-effort cannot rescue us • The difference between struggling and hypocrisy • Why we shouldn't make peace with sin • Why we need Jesus rather than simply trying harder • How Romans 7 points us toward the freedom and power of Romans 8 Romans 7 ends with the cry, “Who will deliver me?” Romans 8 begins with the answer: there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. The answer to the war within isn't another rule. It's Jesus. 00:00 intro 02:44 Knowing What Is Right Isn't Enough 03:12 Why Did I Do It Again? 04:24 The Law Can Reveal but Cannot Rescue 06:29 Information Cannot Replace Transformation 08:11 The Power of Sin Within 12:40 The War Within 15:31 The Self Cannot Rescue the Self 16:41 Who Will Deliver Me? 19:04 Jesus Is the Answer 20:44 From Romans 7 to Romans 8 23:01 Three Takeaways 27:33 I Need More Than Instruction 28:50 The Spirit Transforms Us 32:49 Closing Prayer #romans7 #Jesus #ChristianLife #BiblicalWisdom #ChristianLiving #Jesus #salvation #love #gospel #grace #church #santaponsa #mallorca #theology #mallorcachurch #kirche #sermon #sermonseries #worship #gemeinde #realpeople #realworld #realgod ------------------------------ If you enjoyed this video please Like, Subscribe, and Share it with a friend! 😍📩 ------------------------------ CONNECT WITH SANTA PONSA COMMUNITY CHURCH 👉 Online Hub https://linktr.ee/Santaponsacommunity... 👉 Website https://www.santaponsacommunitychurch... 👉 Facebook   / santaponsacommunitychurch   👉 Instagram   / santaponsacommunitychurch   👉 TikTok   / spccmallorca   ----------------------------- SPCC The War Within Romans 7:14–25 13/09/2026
