How can believers deal with their ongoing struggle with sin?

Answered in 1 source

Believers should walk in the Spirit to overcome the flesh and cultivate their spiritual life.

To navigate the ongoing struggle with sin, believers are encouraged to 'walk in the Spirit' as outlined in Galatians 5:16. This involves actively engaging in spiritual disciplines such as prayer, reading Scripture, and fellowshipping with other believers to strengthen the new nature within while suppressing the old nature. By immersing themselves in the things of God, they can decrease the influence of their carnal instincts. Moreover, understanding that the struggle is a constant reality acknowledges both the potency of sin and the assurance that through Christ, they will ultimately be delivered from all sin when they are glorified. Thus, relying on Christ’s power rather than personal strength is key in this ongoing battle.
