Spiritual Victory Is Ours

The battle of spiritual victory over failure is with the flesh. Our flesh is at war with the Spirit of God who dwells in the believer.

If we are to be victorious, we must learn to live in Christ by the Word of God, to crucify the flesh.

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 

We don't crucify the flesh by gratifying it. We never truly fall into sin: we usually walk into it with our eyes open. We sin because we don't flee sin. We sin because we allow the flesh and its lusts to control us. We sin because we don't yield to the Spirit of God. We will only have victory over the flesh by faith in God.

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
