The Struggle Over Good And Evil

Everyday it seems that the struggle in my heart over good and evil gets more intense. Is there a remedy for this? I believe that I am saved but the struggle seems to be getting more and more acute (nothing illegal or harmful just immoral in light of God’s Word). Could this be a sign that I’m on the right track or is it a sign that I may not be saved after all? your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

A. In Romans 7:14-25 Paul in effect lamented that the harder he tried to defeat the sin in his body, the worse he became. He realized that he could never be free of it as long as he retained his sin nature. So it is with us. As long as we’re in our natural states we’ll be sinners. We walk a narrow line between permissiveness and obsessiveness, with neither extreme being either right or godly. We long to behave in a manner that pleases God and continually fall short of the mark. It’s why we need a Savior.
