As long as believers live on this earth in their sinful bodies, they will engage in a constant struggle with sin. However, Christians can have victory in the struggle with sin by studying and applying God’s Word in their lives and being controlled by the Holy Spirit—that is, submitting to the Spirit’s leading in everyday circumstances.
Wengine hufikiria nakusema, “Nikiokolewa tu naweza kufanya kila nitakacho na wala sitapoteza wokovu wangu!” lakini wokovu si juu ya kuwa huru kufanya mapenzi yako. Wokovu ni kuwa huru kutoka kwa nyororo za dhambi ulizokuwa ukizitumikia iliuwe huru kumtumikia Mungu. Kadri waumini wanavyoishi duniani, kutakuweko na hali ya kupingana na dhambi katika miili yao.
