Does Romans 7 depict a Jew under the law or a believer struggling with sin?

Summary

The sermon explores the struggle with sin described in Romans 7, arguing it reflects the daily battle of a believer caught between their new identity in Christ and their remaining sinful nature. Drawing on Augustinian and Calvinist interpretations, it highlights the exclamation "Oh wretched man that I am!" as characteristic of a Christian experiencing conviction, not an unbeliever. The practical takeaway is recognizing this internal conflict as a sign of ongoing sanctification and the work of the Holy Spirit.
