Big Idea: We were created with an exploitable weakness: choice.

Paul examines our perfectly flawed nature in Romans.

We are prone to temptation. (vv. 8-13)

We can’t be trusted to figure out what is universally (or even specifically) best for us. (vv. 14-16)

Good intentions do not always equal good actions. (vv. 17-23)

We are utterly helpless – but that is GOOD. (v. 24)

Takeaway: Jesus provided us both a way out and a way forward. (v. 25)
