WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN LIKE?
“He is not ruled by sin but nor is he free from sin. He knows nothing more of reigning sin but nonetheless, he is agonized by surviving sin. He is not the same as the unconverted. They are at peace with sin but he is at war with it. They live in sin, he does not - although sin still lives in him. He is characterized by holy desires but frustrated by sin in his members. This is his present and continuing experience until he no longer has Adam's nature. Until then he cries: "O wretched man that I am" (Romans 7:24). And the more holy he becomes, the more he cries it!”
