Chapters

This chapter explores the pre-Christian battle described in Romans 7, where individuals struggle with sin and cannot win. It highlights the transformation from a battle that cannot be won to one that cannot be lost upon becoming a Christian.

Shownotes Transcript

All of life is a battle between two selves, but there’s a war before you become a Christian that’s different from the war that happens after you become a Christian. 

When you become a Christian, you don’t move from warfare to peace. You move from a battle you cannot win to a battle you cannot lose. To understand the difference is extremely important. 

If you look at Romans 7, you’ll see 1) the battle you can’t win, 2) the battle you can’t lose, and 3) how you make the transition.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on August 17, 1997. Series: The War Between Your Selves. Scripture: Romans 7:1-25.
