We’re informed that we have now victory in Jesus, and we’re promised that we have now the Holy Spirit inside us once we settle for Jesus as our Savior. Nevertheless, this doesn’t imply that we aren’t preventing a every day battle in opposition to our flesh and the enemy’s ways. Romans 6:6 teaches us that our outdated sinful self was crucified with Jesus on the cross. Due to what He has achieved, we do not need to reside in our sin.
