Indwelling sin is like a disease that we cant begin to deal with - TopicsExpress



          

Indwelling sin is like a disease that we cant begin to deal with until we acknowledge its presence. But in the case of sin, we must also count on the fact that, though it still resides in us, it no longer has dominion over us. As Paul said, For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace (Romans 6:14). Because we have the assurance that sin shall not be our master, we are not to let it reign in our mortal bodies so that we obey its evil desires (Romans 6:12). Rather we are, by the enabling power of the Spirit, to put to death the misdeeds of the body (Romans 8:13) and to abstain from sinful desires, which war against our souls (1 Peter 2:11). Were called to an active, vigorous warfare against the principle of sin that remains in us.
