The Battle Within (5 of 6)
Series: It's Not Easy Being Me
Jeff Schreve
Romans 8:1-14
Well, great time of worship. If you have your Bible, please turn to Romans chapter 8. We've been in a series the last several weeks entitled; It's Not Easy Being Me. And we've been talking about some of the struggles that we have with ourselves. And today, we want to talk about The Battle Within.
I was reading this week a testimony of a man who was just a rotten guy. He was just a terrible guy. He hated Christianity, and he hated Christians, and he was violent, and he was angry.

It was as if he was singing that song, I saw the light, I saw the light, no more darkness, no more night. Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight. Praise the Lord, I saw the light. That was kind of his testimony. And he was so euphoric in his salvation. And many of you know what I'm talking about, because you know becoming a Christian's kind of like getting married. There has to come a point in time where you say, ''I do.'' And when you say, ''I do:'' then comes the honeymoon. And you're so excited about the honeymoon, but then, after the wedding and after the honeymoon comes real life and some of the euphoria starts to settle down. And you can't live off of feelings; you have to live off of commitment.
Well, this guy and his relationship with the Lord, the euphoria kind of settled down, and he started to realize that, ''Hey, I'm still struggling here in my Christian life. I still have a struggle with sin.'' And he didn't really understand it. And he was saying, ''I really want to do good things, but, man, I find myself no ...
