Romans 8:26 ESV, “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”
Too deep from words.
The one who desires Christ but constantly suffers from the sins of the flesh is not beyond saving. The powers of sin over the individual is not sealed. It’s not permanent. The human is not beyond despair. There is no sin greater than His grace.
When a person sees the sinfulness of the flesh, the work of Christ, and the power of the Spirit, that individual has to only step out to submit. The Spirit at work inside him takes over, praying, groaning, convicting, and working in the heart to bring victory to a dark place. O, wretched soul, it is the Lord who saves you, who changes you: nothing else!
Yet we must submit. Our heart, our mind, our soul, should all be ready to let God be sovereign, let Christ be Savior, and let the Spirit work. It is the Trinitarian God that does the saving and more. It is the sanctifying work of the Spirit which makes us to be more and more like Jesus.
O God, You are King. Make us to live for You, in You. Amen.
