In the final lesson of this 13 part series, we talk about The Law of Sin. Sin is a vice that takes you farther than you want to go and keeps you longer than you want to stay. Although we belong to Christ and have died to sin, we still live in a sinful world. We have a sinful nature. How often do we undertake spiritual warfare in our own strength?  Using our own tools and resources, and making up our own directions as we go along. We shouldn’t be surprised if Satan quickly puts us out of commission. Without the help of the Holy Spirit, we are dominated by the power of sin. We continue to do evil, when we actually desire to do good. The law, or principle, at work here is the reality that evil is within us. In fact, it is when we most want to do good that we become most acutely aware of our propensity not to do so. Sin is constantly at war with us in our endeavor to live for God. Sin fights against the law of the mind because our mind is where we make our decisions and our moral judgments. We must never underestimate sin’s power; and we must never attempt to fight sin in our own strength. Instead of trying to overcome sin with human willpower, we must take hold of the tremendous power of the Holy Spirit that is available to us. God’s Spirit fills you and keeps you in triumph over all your spiritual foes! Romans 7:25 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.
