Though we are completely saved when we are united with Christ by grace through faith, we remain attached to our body of sin, our old crucified self, throughout the remainder of our earthly life. This reality means that sanctification is a battle. To illustrate that truth, here in Romans 7, Paul begins sharing his own testimony of how his “Inner Man” or new, regenerate nature wrestles with his “Old Man” or the “Law of Sin” still present in his members.
