Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Commentary: Romans 7:14-25

## Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Reading of Romans 7:14-25

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

In the Reformed (Presbyterian) tradition, we read Romans 7:14-25 as an exploration of the ongoing struggle between the indwelling sin and the new life in Christ. This passage illustrates the already/not yet tension of sanctification, where the believer, though justified and renewed by sovereign grace, continues to battle the remnants of the old sinful nature. We emphasize that this struggle confirms our total depravity and the necessity of ongoing sanctification through the Spirit's work, rooted in God's covenantal promises.
