Romans 7:24–25
“What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.”
Understanding this passage
Paul voices the cry of a guilty conscience, then thanks God for a Rescuer. Deliverance is through Jesus, not through self-loathing.
Why this verse helps
Guilt asks 'who will rescue me?' The gospel answers with a name: Jesus Christ our Lord.
A prayer for you
Jesus, I feel wretched. Thank You that You deliver me. Be my rescue. Amen.
