G! I've figured out what's pulling me down! And it ain't Gravity!

In my post, 'G Darwin! Help me find my family tree', I made the following statement,

"I was cleansed of my sins a number of times. These, however, were failed attempts at going back to a Christian life. My eyes were fixed on the pleasures of this world. For one reason or another, I always seemed to gravitate (little-by-little) towards the life I knew I did not want but at the same time craved."

Prior to that, I had reiterated my observations regarding the "force that causes pigs to gravitate to the dirt and the mud". The aim was to draw similarities between the pigs attraction to mud and people's attraction to sin.

In that post, I purposely left the following question unanswered, "is there a law that defines this type of attraction?"

Let me shed some light into this subject! We can find which law is at work within us in the book of Romans (in The Bible). In it, you will find the very Law that defines what a man must do to defy gravity (falling); however, the Law is perfect (Psalms 19:7) and I am not! So... hmm... how then, can little old me defy gravity? Nothing about me is perfect (perhaps a perfect sinner)... little lies here and there, eat everything you can think of, don't always seem to have love for others (especially when that other person is cutting me off in the express-way)... and the list goes on... you get the picture.

The Law of the Lord helps identify the essence or force that is at play within us all; the following is noted in Romans 7:7 "...I would not have come to know sin except through the Law". If you are not familiar with the Law of the Lord, go research it... you'll be amaze of all the sinful things that you (we) do on a daily (hourly) basis!

The fall of man gave way to our attraction to sin. I give thanks to God for having died for me so that I may be saved. I've been blessed with "a measure of faith" to trust in Him who saved me! A salvation that was received as a gift; that is, it was given to me without having done anything to earn it. I die daily by allowing His Spirit to work in me and through me, that I may be able to defy the Law through the grace and mercy that is given unto those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

I'll end with the following verses:

Romans 7:21 - I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.
Romans 7:22 - For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,
Romans 7:23 - but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.
Romans 7:24 - Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
Romans 7:25 - Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

Please enjoy the following song!

"'Tis at the cross of Christ"
"Where earth and heaving meet"
"Where sin is overcome"
"To God the victory"
"He is Lord"
