2 Corinthians 10:3 (NKJV) 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
According to God’s word, a believer does not war in and of the flesh. We learn how to battle differently; we don’t let the flesh get the best of us any longer.
How many know what I’m talking about here? We begin to do things by letting His Holy Spirit guide and direct our steps.
The old way is done with and there is a new way of doing things. We have to submit to God and let the change come.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
As a child of God, we are starting over. We are starting from scratch. We have a brand-new, clean slate. And we are just beginning to see what God can do when we confess our sins and walk in His faithfulness to forgive us!
1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
We are clean, my friend. Very clean.
That doesn’t mean sin no longer exists in us or never tempts us. It means that we have been cleansed from prior things that we have confessed, and we will need the Holy Spirit to help keep it out of our daily walk.
This is something that we learn to do on a daily basis. And as we follow God’s leading, it gets easier.
Will we ever be perfect at it? No.
But if we put God first in everything, heed the leading of the Holy Spirit, and let Him mold us and shape us, He will create a new person in us that we will barely recognize over time.
Amen.
