Romans 7 names the experience precisely: the things I want to do, I don't; the things I don't want to do, I end up doing. We explore how sin, gospel, and law fit together in the practical lived Christian life — and push back on the idea that sin is just human nature indulging in pleasure. A thing isn't sinful because of the magnitude of its consequences; it's sinful because it takes us further from God. Eve didn't need a list of outcomes to know she was making the wrong choice. But perhaps the most striking insight is this: the Bible portrays sin as something we perpetrate, but also something perpetrated on us — and Jesus came to save us from both.
