Oh, AndyC, that's not the way it is dealt with.
We abhor sin in the flesh.
Which is why we speak out against homos, abortionist, etc.
If we were really just trying to pacify the flesh, we wouldn't care about what homos and abortionists do.
While we still abhor such things, we know that the behavior of the flesh does not determine grace salvation.
For it is the perfect obedience and righteousness of Christ that saves, not any of the obedience and righteousness we may occasionally exhibit.
We agree that this corruptible flesh we live in is not going to stop rebelling while it lives.
The only thing that can free the flesh body from that law that it rebels against is death.
The believer counts his flesh as dead, a corpse.
Galatians 2:20-21 KJV
(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.
(21) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Long story short, if you are relying on any of your own righteousness or obedience, you are relying on the wrong person.
In other words, salvation is not a self-effort program. It's all about what Christ did, not what you have done.
When you realize that your salvation is not based on your obedience and righteousness, but the righteousness and obedience of Christ, then you can rest knowing that all effort required for salvation was accomplished by Christ.
