Romans 7:25 - Additional Comments

In Romans 6:14, we are promised, "For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
The law means that God requires something of me to follow the law, but deliverance from law means that He no longer requires that from me, but He Himself provides it.
This chapter can be discouraging in that we can never be free from sin until we die, yet encouraging to know that we are not alone in our struggles. And, we can be encouraged by the depth of the grace from God over our sins. Plus, we can look forward to one day being with God and being truly free from the war.
So, what are we to do in our Christian life? Col 1:9-12 has a good summary. The Christian life is simply knowing a Person, loving Him, seeking to please Him, walking with Him, honoring Him, obeying Him, thanking Him, rejoicing in Him, delighting in Him, trusting in Him, growing in Him, talking to Him, talking to others about Him, abiding in Him, learning of Him, learning from Him, sitting at His feet and enjoying His presence. Note the emphasis on Him.
