22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,
23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

This passage has always been both encouraging and discouraging to me. Encouraging because I can relate to the struggles Paul is describing, but discouraging because Paul was the cornerstone of the early Church and had maturity beyond what I will likely ever have, yet is still struggling.
Paul's last question "Who will set me free from the body of this death?" however brings be to the true joy, one day God will set us free and we will spend eternity with Him in perfection. No sin, only adoration for a Matchless God!
I am so ready to go home... Obviously, God is not ready for that yet, so I must do His will and fight the inner struggle against sin. Are you fighting hard enough?
