Romans 7:17 (NKJV) 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but\u00a0sin\u00a0that dwells in me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When we become a child of God, we are born again!! We are saved and have eternal life.<\/p>\n

Some people may say, “well, I still feel like the same person. I still do some of the same old things. I mess up and I am very tempted at times”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Though our flesh is still very weak and tempted, if we let our mind be renewed, we will eventually think and act more like Christ. We will begin to change, little by little. He will help us overcome our weaknesses toward the sin that tries to lure us in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why is it that at times we do the very thing we want so badly not to do?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Romans 7:25 (NKJV) 25 I thank God\u2014through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Because of our old man, the flesh and our carnality that loves sin is still living in us. It didn\u2019t magically disappear when we got saved or put our faith in Christ as our Lord and Savior. It still shares\u00a0the\u00a0same\u00a0house, temple, or body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We have to learn how to overcome those awful habits and desires of the flesh. We do this by learning to walk according to the Spirit.<\/p>\n

Yes, it takes time, with many mistakes in between. But don\u2019t walk around depressed all the time, or feeling like a failure. Acknowledge our weaknesses and let Christ strengthen us in those areas. It\u2019s a beautiful part of our growth in Him!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Romans 8:1-2 (NKJV) 1\u00a0There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Our old man, the unsaved flesh, will work hard at being in charge, trying to\u00a0keep those bad habits going. Shut it down and let the Spirit of God show us how to walk as sons\/daughters of God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Romans 8:14 (NKJV) 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
