The battle within

Is a battle with sin

The battle for righteousness

As oaks of righteousness.

 

The battle you face

Is a battle of grace

The one God gave

Through which you were saved.

 

The battle you see

Shouldn’t be a mystery

Against the adversary,

No matter how fiery.

 

The battle is for you to win

Win well against Satan and sin

For you have a new nature

Packaged well for a great future.

 

Jesus won the war for you

For you to have a breakthrough

Therefore stand your ground

Stand firm on the truth you’ve found.

 

Press on to the every end

Know that in Christ you have a Friend

Who sticks closer than a brother.

He’ll be with you summer or winter.

 

¹⁹   For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

²⁰   Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

²¹   I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.

²²   For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.

²³   But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

²⁴   O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

²⁵   I thank God — through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

Rom7:

Romans 8: Free from Indwelling Sin

¹     There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

²     For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

 

Walking in the Spirit

¹⁶   I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

¹⁷   For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

¹⁸   But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Gal5:16-18
