From an article handed to me relationg to teenagers

As a believer, I see God's holy standard. I recognize that it is good, yet my heart wanders to fantasy worlds where I rule with no higher agenda than the pleasure of self. It is here that I am led to cry, "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!" It is when I am confronted with my utter inability to meet the demands of God's standard that I am also confronted with the reality and majesty of His grace. "Where sin increased, grace increased all the more." — Paul Tripp "The Way of the Wise: Teaching Teenagers about Sex". The Journal of Biblical Counseling. Volume 13. Number 3. Spring 1995.
