A new I

Romans 7:17
But now, it  is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

There is a new “I”. The apostle is not saying that I am now, as a Christian, no longer responsible when I sin; rather, he is talking about a new orientation. A new center. A new point of reference. Although still a sinner, Christ is for me. Dare I say it—Christ in me.
