Are you willing to believe the Bible when it says that “there is no good thing dwelling within your flesh”? My friend, until you are willing to take that position, you’re already defeated. The very minute that you believe that somehow or another that you can tamper it and excuse it, that it’s not as bad as Scripture says it is. May I say that you’re doomed to awful defeat. Not until you and I come to the position and stand at the cross of Christ and say, “He’s dying because I’m a vile, rotten sinner,” we have never, never even gotten in the battle that leads to victory over the flesh.
