[Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?]

In the above verse, Paul was frustrated. He had tried everything to live the Christian life but he had ended up in failure. He says though he knew the right thing to do and wanted to do right, but he found himself doing the wrong things. This is because he was trying to live the Christian life by imposing laws on himself. Christianity is 100% spiritual. Jesus said that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. We cannot therefore live it any other way but through the power of the Holy Spirit. Stop fighting yourself, simply follow what God has told us to do – get saved, receive the Holy Spirit and be filled with the Spirit. When this happens, the fruit of the Holy Spirit shall begin to manifest on your life which are love, peace joy, patience, goodness, faithfullness, gentleness and self control. So living the Christian life is actually the fruit or outcome of the Holy Spirit that lives in us. Without following that pathway, you will try to live the Christian life, but it will only be an imitation and you will struggle. Simply receive and embrace the Holy Spirit and watch your life transform.
