Praise & Worship – The Remnant – My One Defence .. My Righteousness – 7th June 2019

Praise the Lord “So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.”

Romans 7:21-23 We’re of such a degenerate nature, we need to be told and taught to do good. As children we had to be taught to share, wait your turn, to not bite and hurt when you’re angry, to be polite and show empathy, and observe good manners, all the while our inner man craves to delight and be joined with the Spirit of God. We never need any training or guidance to go with our natural crude brutish instincts of survival and debauchery to please what the flesh desires, we’re naturals at that. 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!”

Romans 7:21-23 Oh, how we need Jesus! As we worship tonight, let’s raise up such an offering to just thank our Savior, our Brother, our Friend, for coming down to save us from ourselves and allow us an honour to even experience the delight and joy in the strength of our Father who has so long awaited us.

What a wonderful Savior, who has imparted to us His holiness, His worthiness and all of the fullness of His glory!
