This believer doesn't! My life has totally changed since I've known God.
I'm dead to my old self and Christ by the Spirit is helping me to overcome my flesh daily. How can we live our lives like everyone else once we born of God? Many people don't even think of God, we must be putting him first before anything else in our day to day lives. And listen to the Spirit in our heart and do what's right before God putting ourselves last.
So you're
not going about your business living life as I said?
What is your business? Is it living like the world? You didn't notice the going about your business part? If you did, you seem to think that means we are living like the unbelievers. Did I say that? No, I said going about our business. We are in the world, but not of the world. You just had to read evil into what I said, because you think you are some special kind of Christian. Shame on you. When you go on and on about what YOU do, you are boasting, and boasting is excluded by the law of faith.
Oh I realise what that means, but we all have the desire still to sin, we are in flesh, we will be always tempted whilst we are here, and sometimes we will fall, but by the power of the Holy Spirit through Christ, we can overcome because those who born of God are under the grace of God.
Nope, you're wrong. You are still in the flesh or you wouldn't say you still have a desire to sin.
We are to deny ourselves and turn from sin and Christ will help us to overcome by the power of the Spirit.
Unlike you, I am confident that God will perform His good work in me. That's what it means to rest in the Lord.
Did you read the next few verses after that which you quoted?
Romans 6
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.*For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
It's the part in yellow you don't seem to get. "Ye were the servants of sin....
And the next verse that puts the icing on the cake.
Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin,
ye became the servants of righteousness.
Ye were servants of sin, but you obeyed (the gospel and were saved).
Ye became servants of righteousness.
That belies your desiring sin....doesn't it?
