[25] For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. [26] And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; [27] For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” [28] Concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. [29] For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. [30] For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, [31] even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. [32] For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.
Sinning is not unique to any one person. We may sin in different ways, but we all sin in one way or another. No matter how we try, we will never be able to operate apart from it in this life. Our flesh is riddled with it.
I used to believe that my inability to avoid sin was a "me" problem that "I" had to work through. What I have come to realize is that sin is more than just a problem to be dealt with. It is a daily reminder that I can not operate under my own power with my own ability and my own strength. I HAVE to rely completely on the supernatural help of the Holy Spirit to focus beyond my imperfections and focus on Jesus.
II Corinthians 12:9 - And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
