If we are in the flesh, we cannot please God (Rom. 8:8). If we are in the Spirit, our union with Christ is the basis for victory over fleshly desires. Paul says that if we walk in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Gal. 5:16) and that we are "more than conquerors" (Rom. 8:37). The promises of Revelation 2 and 3 are to "overcomers." The salvation Christ gave His life for is complete deliverance from the power of sin in our lives, and an ongoing love relationship with God. This is a place of responsibility, but it is not impossible, for God has made the way. Going beyond doctrine to reveal truths that are spiritual yet also practical, this admonition is to every Christian with a true desire to live above sin. t , , c Temptation - In the Life of a Christian
