Day 24 is ready, and today’s lesson addresses something that quietly troubles a great many sincere believers.
We are in Romans 7:14-17, where Paul describes the gap between what he wants to do and what he actually does. For many Christians, this passage has felt like a description of defeat.
But today’s lesson reframes it entirely. The very fact that you hate what you do is not evidence that nothing has changed in you. It is evidence that everything has changed. Dead people do not hate sin.
Paul draws a precise distinction between his new identity in Christ and the remaining presence of sin in his flesh, and that distinction changes not just how you see yourself, but how you fight.

The questions today are worth considering carefully, particularly the complete-the-thought questions, which ask you to work through some important distinctions about identity and the nature of the conflict you experience.
As always, earlier lessons are available in the archive if you need to catch up. And when you are ready for today, here is that link once more:
