THE PRONE TO WANDER MYTH

We've been taught that even after Jesus enters our heart, that we're still "prone to wander." This is no longer true: in Christ, your heart is your ally, not your enemy." Learn more at: www.THE GOOD AND NOBLE HEART.COM. Jim lives in southern New Hampshire with his family.

Thanks for the reminder bro that all of the things we are fed in life, although well intentioned, are not spot on the truth and so not leading us to the freedom we have been given in Christ. Here's to going forward in True Direction

Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am!

You don't understand sin at all.

Romans 7:15 - 25:

For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.
