The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!
He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous.
So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.
So we can see how terrible sin really is. It uses God’s good commands for its own evil purposes.
I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 22I love God’s law with all my heart. 23But there is another power7:23 Greek law; also in 7:23b. within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 24Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25Thank 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.
Lord God my Father,
Thank you for your law so I know the boundary of good and bad. I know I am a sinner and for that I have regrets. Take the power of sin and block it from my way, replace my way with your way and reinforce my desire to serve only you and not this world. I know you created me for your good but the sin nature I carry messes me up. Thank you for loving me so much even thou I am a sinner and thank you for the freedom you gave me by the sacrifice you made to pay for my sin.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
