Romans 8:13-14 New International Version (NIV)
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will
die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the
body, you will live.
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are
the children of God.
Living a life of purity is a daily battle, an ongoing war
between our flesh and the Spirit of God working to re-create us to be like
Christ. Without the power of the Spirit, our willpower eventually fails. But
because of the Spirit's power at work within us, our failures in the flesh can
be overcome and our progress to our goal of Christlikeness is assured (2
Corinthians 3:17-18).
Thought for today:
Do I “white knuckle” every temptation or can and do I yield to God?
