June 18th - Afternoon | SINFUL NATURE

Romans 7:5
When we were controlled by our old nature, sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced sinful deeds, resulting in death.

How would you know if what you were doing was right or wrong? Tough right? This is the reason why people say that truth is “relative”. People sometimes say that whatever passes as proper practices in one culture could be deemed wrong in another culture. Paul said in Romans 7:25, “Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.” Jesus Christ is the truth and the life according to John 14:6, therefore making His word the standard for truth. If you know the Truth and are obedient to Him, you will not fall into your sinful nature.
