Who Will Deliver Me

Romans 7:19-25 (ESV Strong's)

19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

When a person becomes alive to Christ, the light of God enters the darkness within that person. The light is not compatible with darkness, so God begins to separate the two. This new creation takes place in the soul and begins to manifest in the world. This separation process is the sanctification of the believer which continues until we are transformed into the image of God. We will see Christ as He is and we will be like Him.
