The flesh and the spirit are at odds, but for a Christian, those odds are not equal. Once the New Birth has taken place, the believer is no longer subject to the old nature.

He is not to be governed by feeling. Soldier of the Cross, your currency has changed. So has your citizenship. Live in the new economy. |
