How do sinners saved by grace drift into believing Jesus removes our every trace of and potential for sin in one moment of surrender? Some suggest the Christian life is all smiles and spiritual euphoria—but in reality, Alistair Begg reminds us, ongoing spiritual battles actually show evidence of our faith. While sin might remain in our hearts, we are still redeemed and growing to be like Jesus. No longer sin’s slaves, we can fight worldliness and other lingering beliefs that warp our perception of God’s reality.
5jPut to death therefore kwhat is earthly in you:2 lsexual immorality, impurity, mpassion, evil desire, and covetousness, nwhich is idolatry. 6oOn account of these the wrath of God is coming.3 7pIn these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8But now qyou must put them all away: ranger, wrath, malice, sslander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9tDo not lie to one another, seeing that uyou have put off vthe old self4 with its practices 10and whave put on xthe new self, ywhich is being renewed in knowledge zafter the image of aits creator. 11bHere there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,5 free; but Christ is call, and in all.
