“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”

 Scripture- Romans 7:14-25

Preacher- Rev. Dr. James A. Jackson, Jr,Pastor

This 1986 novel showed that the human personality reflects both good and evil. 

In the scripture text, Paul expresses the desire to do what is right, but the sinful nature fights against it. Struggling with the flesh is a constant battle for a Christian.  We need to remember that the motive matters more than the action. 

There is a battle going on inside of us and we all have a Mr. Hyde!

4 points to remember- 

1. We are all born with a sinful nature 

2. Sin grows in the dark

3. Left unchecked, sin will devour us

4. We cannot rescue ourselves- we need a Savior 

We don’t need to fight this on our own. We can lean on God.  We trust Him and His promises!! Jesus has our back and will help us with keeping our Mr. Hyde in check!!
