START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
THE SPIRIT … THE SINFUL NATURE / GALATIANS 5:17
The spiritual conflict within believers involves the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. The struggle is whether they will give in to their own sinful desires and yield to sin’s control, or whether they will surrender to the spirit’s demands and continue under Christ’s authority and control (Galatians 5:16; Romans 8:4-14). The battlefield is within each Christian, and the conflict will continue throughout their earthly lives if they are to reign with Christ in the future (Romans 7:7-25; 2 Timothy 2:12; Revelation 12:11; Ephesians 6:11). However, by relying on the power of the Holy Spirit and by following His guidance, a Christian will overcome his or her own ungodly desires and win the battle over the sinful nature (Galatians 5:16).
