Sinful nature

 December 7 – Sinful nature -  Gal 5:16-18

 

     In a recent magazine the author of the article said that the problem with man was not society but sin.  Paul says that we can have victory over the sinful nature.  Paul says to live in the Spirit and when you do that you can overcome the old nature.

     What the sinful nature does is contrary to what the Sprit of God wants you to do.  They are in constant warfare for control of the will.  Paul says that we if we say no to sin, we can live in victory.  If we live in the Spirit then we are not under the law of sin and death.  James says that if we submit to God, then when the devil comes to tempt us we can say no and resist him and he will have to flee.  The choice is ours.  Listen to the Spirit and He will lead you to victory.
