Gospel in Life
with Tim Keller
Splitness
Friday, December 5, 2025
How does change really happen in somebody’s life? And how does faith in Christ concretely and practically lead to change?
In Romans 7 we see, in very starkly and shockingly realistic terms, a depiction of the human heart. And what we really see is the very heart that any principles about change have to be applied to.
When we look at Romans 7, I think we learn three things: 1) what our biggest problem is, 2) what won’t address that problem, and 3) what will.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 26, 2006. Series: In Christ Jesus: How the Spirit Transforms Us. Scripture: Romans 7:1-9, 18-25.
