Passage: Romans 7:21–7:25

Quick Review

  • Looking back at your notes from this week's teaching on "The War Within: Part II" was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged or confused you?

Digging Deeper (Read Romans 7)

  1. In verse 14, what does Paul tell us about the sin nature?
  2. What do we learn about ourselves from Paul's description of his struggle against sin in verses 15-20? How does sin make him feel? How does your sin make you feel?
  3. In verses 21-23, what conclusions does Paul make about sin?
  4. In verses 24-25, where does Paul tell us is the only place that victory over sin can come from?
  5. Can you think of an area in your life where the struggle against sin is the greatest? In which area of your life do you feel that this struggle is strongest?
  6. When you fail in your struggle against sin and disobey God, what is the best thing you can do?
  7. Sometimes when we sin, we feel we are alone in our failure. Is it right to feel this way? Why or why not?
  8. Read and explain the following verses:
  • Ephesians 6:10-12     
  • Philippians 3:12-14     
  • Hebrews 12:1-4
What dragons in your life do you need to stop feeding?
