How do we know God gives us the power to deal with sin?
Answered in 1 source
We know we have power over sin through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and our union with Christ.
The assurance that we can deal with sin effectively comes from the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in believers' lives. Romans 8:1 declares there is 'no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,' emphasizing our legal standing before God that allows us to confront sin without fear of punishment. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit actively convicts us of sin, leading us to righteousness and empowering us to resist sin. By reckoning ourselves dead to sin and alive to God through Christ (Romans 6:11), we are equipped to mortify the deeds of the body and pursue sanctification, as the Spirit empowers us to walk in His ways.
