Spiritual Mind Brings Peace to Struggle

For believers in Jesus, there is an inward struggle. The believer wills to do good or follow God's commandments, but similar to Paul tends not to do good. In Romans 7:18,19, Paul says "...for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do." Paul continues and discovers deliverance in Jesus Christ (Romans 7:24,25). Freedom from sin and death is found through the 'Spirit of life in Jesus Christ' (Romans 8:2). Thus, life and peace is found through becoming spiritually minded (Romans 8:6). In trusting God and keeping our mind on Him, we will be kept in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3).
