Potential actions to take in response

Romans 7:15-25a speaks to the inner struggle between the desires of our flesh and our commitment to the will of God. We can respond to this teaching by understanding that the power of the Holy Spirit is available to help us overcome the temptations of the flesh. In practical terms, this means that when we are tempted to do something that goes against the will of God, we can turn to the Holy Spirit for strength and guidance. We can also take time to pray, meditate, and read the Scriptures in order to gain insight into how we should respond. Finally, we can be mindful of the consequences of our actions and strive to make wise decisions that honor God and support our spiritual growth.
