Paul had this struggle not only as a child of God. But as an apostle of God.
Reader,
Romans 7, is a teaching, whereby Paul is showing us that when the struggle is to try to do righteousness, vs walk in the righteousness, that we are BECOME, as "the Righteousness of GOD, in Christ".. then that is the carnal mind, and that mind is "the mind of the flesh".
So, Paul continued to teach....and the end of the teaching is that : "Christ always gives me the Victory".. over the world, the flesh, and the devil.
So, when a Christian is struggling with sin consciousness, then that is because they have not understood, probably, that all Christian exist here.
"Where there is no law, there is no sin", and "All the born again, are "not under the Law, but under Grace"..
So, to be a believer who is trying to be good, vs, existing as "made righteous" in your thinking, causes that mental struggle with wrong desires.
So, change your thinking, get your faith right and that sin consciousness struggle, inwardly, will diminish, and as it goes away, this teaches you how to stop it completely.
