Romans 7:18 – In Me Dwelleth No Good Thing – 0923B
Description
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0923B recorded on August 12, 1984 teaching from Romans 7:18 – In Me Dwelleth No Good Thing.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens centers on the Pauline dilemma articulated in Romans 7:18 , emphasizing that in the Christian life, the “I” represents the struggle between the whole individual and the carnal nature constantly wrestling with sin. Stevens argues that true spiritual progress begins not with psychological self-affirmation, but with a profound admission of personal sinfulness and unworthiness before God, contrary to worldly ideas of self-image. He demonstrates this through Biblical examples of figures like Isaiah, David, Peter, and Paul, who confessed their spiritual deficiencies by declaring, “I am undone,” “I am a worm,” or “I am chief” of sinners. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens calls for believers to abandon self-righteousness, mourn over their sin, and find victory and deliverance from carnality solely in Jesus Christ.
