Fallen people have a warped nature that’s prone to sin. That sin nature compels people to rebel against God’s standard of who we are to be and how we are to live. But according to the Bible, that fallen nature changes when a person is transformed inside by God’s power.

Jacob’s wrestling match with God in Genesis Chapter 32 is more than just a Biblical cage match. It’s a powerful lesson that illustrates those times we all wrestle with God to reach His promises and plans for our lives. When God wrestles with you and you hang in there until the match is done, you’ll never be the same.
