What hope do believers have in dealing with indwelling sin?

Despite the reality of indwelling sin, believers are provided with hope through the truth of God's grace. Newton emphasizes that while sin may temporarily disrupt their peace, it does not have the final word. Romans 8:1 assures believers that 'there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' This promise of grace and acceptance allows believers to approach their sin with hope rather than despair. They look forward to the day when they will be fully restored and see Christ as He is, transformed into His image and freed from the presence of sin entirely. This forward-looking faith not only comforts them but encourages perseverance in the struggle against sin.
