A true believer is at war with his sin. A false believer is at peace with it.

I wrote Unknown here because I couldn’t find the origin of this quote. Some sources are claiming it’s Romans 7:15, but I looked it up and it’s not (at least not a citation). However, Romans 7:15-24 does talk about Paul’s struggle with sin so I think that the origin could be inspired by those verses. To me, it seems someone wanted to summarize these verses and whoever that was, he did a great job.

It is certainly one of the greatest and simplest descriptions I’ve seen in a while. Those of us who believe often really struggle with our sins and, to some people, it may seem like we are exaggerating them, but we know that we must hold ourselves accountable in order to avoid getting comfortable with it aka. being at peace with it.
