Defeated Or Victorious Living?

Romans 6:1 “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?”
 
One of the biggest problems in the church today, is that many have resigned themselves to giving in to the flesh (carnal desires) and casually mentioning that the grace of God will cover it. The result, living a defeated life with it’s prisons and addictions.
 
Here’s the problem with that theology, I John 3:8 tells us not to “practice sin” and that “the purpose Jesus was manifested was to destroy the works of Satan.” Galatians 5:16 says “…live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.”
 
I don’t want to be a Christian that admits defeat to the works of the flesh. I want to demonstrate the “Power Of The Cross!” Galatians 5:24 says “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there.”

Let’s demonstrate the “fruits of righteousness” (Philippians 1:11) so that God receives the glory and that others may see the “power of God” working in our lives!
