How do we know the law of sin is present in our members?

Answered in 1 source

The presence of the law of sin is evidenced through the struggle between our desire to follow God and the actions we sometimes take that are contrary to His will.

Romans 7:21-23 illustrates this inner conflict: 'For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind.' This captures the reality of the believer's experience — our new nature delights in God's law, but the old nature, represented by Joab, wars against it. This ongoing struggle highlights the pervasive influence of sin in our lives, driving us to depend on Christ for deliverance from our sinful inclinations.
