"Good Fruit & God's Standards"

Paul, in this portion of his letter the church in Rome, begins to stir our faith to live for making 'good fruit', lasting impact on our world and those around us. He then reminds us of His 'objective standard' for our lives that cannot be reduced to something we prefer, but must remain ever before us, so our pursuit are aimed at Him. We also see just how real every person's struggle with sin is, though we're born again and sin no longer has power over us, we do still live in a body that always wants us to give into it's demands.
